What the numbers say
In 2024, French Polynesia's gross capital formation (current LCU) fell 0.4% on 2023 (from 153.4 billion to 152.8 billion).
Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2023), the average change was +1.6% and a typical year strayed about 14.1% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 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 40.4% in 2018 and the biggest yearly fall was 24.8% 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 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 28% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
