Georgia: Adjusted savings, mineral depletion (% of GNI)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, Georgia's adjusted savings, mineral depletion (% of GNI) rose 0.42 percentage points on 2020 (from 0.64% to 1.06%).

Across the 28 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2020), the average change was +0.02 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.19 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.44 percentage points in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.56 percentage points 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.

What this measures

Mineral depletion is the ratio of the value of the stock of mineral resources to the remaining reserve lifetime (capped at 25 years). It covers tin, gold, lead, zinc, iron, copper, nickel, silver, bauxite, and phosphate. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI) which is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
