Fiji: Adjusted savings, net forest depletion (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, Fiji's adjusted savings, net forest depletion (current US$) rose 11.3% on 2020 (from US$43.51 million to US$48.41 million).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was +9.3% and a typical year strayed about 31.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above 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 118.1% in 1993 and the biggest yearly fall was 38.4% in 1999. 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$1.65 million a year. A straight line explains 57% of the movement over 10 observed years.
