What the numbers say
In 2025, Germany's s&P Global Equity Indices (annual % change) rose 4.16 percentage points on 2024 (from 18.85% to 23.01%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +0.49 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 34.25 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 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 97.57 percentage points in 2003 and the biggest yearly fall was 79.21 percentage points in 2008. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 12% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

What this measures
S&P Global Equity Indices measure the U.S. dollar price change in the stock markets covered by the S&P BMI country indices.
Limitations: Markets included in Standard & Poor's emerging markets category vary widely in level of development. Thus, it is best to look at the entire category to identify the most significant market trends. It is also useful to remember that stock market trends may be distorted by currency conversions, especially when a currency has registered a significant devaluation.
