Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, French Polynesia's gross national expenditure (current US$) rose 2.8% on 2023 (from US$7.85 billion to US$8.07 billion).

Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2023), the average change was +1.2% and a typical year strayed about 8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 13.4% in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 13.7% 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 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$185.44 million a year. A straight line explains 78% of the movement over 10 observed years.
