Greece: Adjusted net national income per capita (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, Greece's adjusted net national income per capita (current US$) rose US$2,506 on 2020 (from US$14,755 to US$17,261).

Across the 14 yearly changes before that (2007 to 2020), the average change was −US$430.83 and a typical year strayed about US$1,817 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$3,122 in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was US$2,954 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 2012 to 2021 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 21% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
