Europe & Central Asia: Adjusted net national income per capita (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, Europe & Central Asia's adjusted net national income per capita (current US$) rose US$2,479 on 2020 (from US$19,469 to US$21,948).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was +US$364.57 and a typical year strayed about US$1,306 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$2,772 in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was US$3,067 in 2015. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
