On record, the biggest yearly rise was 983.3% in 1999 and the biggest yearly fall was 89.9% in 1998. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2007 to 2015 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
