What the numbers say
In 2024, French Polynesia's gross national expenditure (current LCU) rose 2.8% on 2023 (from 866.1 billion to 890.2 billion).
Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2023), the average change was +1.7% and a typical year strayed about 3.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 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 7.2% in 2018 and the biggest yearly fall was 5.6% 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 23.59 billion a year. A straight line explains 91% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 939.26 billion for 2027. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2022 to 2024 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 45.19 billion, against 82.6 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
