Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2020, French Polynesia's taxes less subsidies on products (current US$) fell 3.5% on 2019 (from US$782.35 million to US$754.77 million).

Across the 14 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2019), the average change was +0.5% and a typical year strayed about 7.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 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 13.2% in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 12.7% 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 2011 to 2020 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 6% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
