What the numbers say
In 2024, Guinea's communications, computer, etc. (% of service exports, BoP) fell 12.4 percentage points on 2023 (from 89.48% to 77.08%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was −0.17 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 23.59 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations below 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 50.63 percentage points in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was 57.79 percentage points in 2021. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 23% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
