In 2025, Guyana's bank liquid reserves to bank assets ratio (%) fell 4.22 percentage points on 2024 (from 31.67% to 27.45%).
Across the 23 yearly changes before that (2002 to 2024), the average change was +0.4 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 4.14 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.1 standard deviations below 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 10.45 percentage points in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 8.52 percentage points in 2007. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.88 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 41% of the movement over 10 observed years.
