What the numbers say
In 2021, Ethiopia's adjusted net savings, excluding particulate emission damage (current US$) fell 9.2% on 2020 (from US$17.3 billion to US$15.71 billion).

This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 136.6% in 2014 and the biggest yearly fall was 29.6% in 2013. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$1.84 billion a year. A straight line explains 90% of the movement over 10 observed years.
