Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2023, Fragility, Conflict, and Violence (FCV) situations' service exports (current US$, BoP) fell 2.5% on 2022 (from US$82.14 billion to US$80.08 billion).

This year's change was 0.7 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 34.6% in 2003 and the biggest yearly fall was 30.5% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 12% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
