Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, Georgia's adjusted savings, mineral depletion (current US$) rose US$88.39 million on 2020 (from US$96.1 million to US$184.49 million).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was +US$3.2 million and a typical year strayed about US$25.68 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 3.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$88.39 million in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was US$72.11 million in 2012. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2012 to 2021 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 18% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
