Yearly data from 1992 to 2023, from the World Bank.
Guyana's net capital account (BoP, current US$) was US$15.25 million in 2023, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 109.85% from US$7.27 million in 2013 (7.69% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | US$15.25 million | 2023 |
| Five years earlier | US$23.52 million | 2018 |
| Ten years earlier | US$7.27 million | 2013 |
| Highest | US$426.6 million | 2007 |
| Lowest | US$2.41 million | 1992 |
| Average since 2014 | US$34.82 million | 2014–2023 |
| First recorded | US$2.41 million | 1992 |
Over five years it is down 35.17% from US$23.52 million in 2018 (8.3% a year on average, compounded). Since 1992 it is up 532.77% from US$2.41 million in 1992 (6.13% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 1 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2023, Guyana's net capital account (BoP, current US$) fell 60.7% on 2022 (from US$38.82 million to US$15.25 million).
Across the 28 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2022), the average change was +45.8% and a typical year strayed about 134.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 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 572.7% in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 90.9% 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 2014 to 2023 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.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2023, Guyana had the 8th highest value of the 11 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
Net capital account records acquisitions and disposals of nonproduced nonfinancial assets, such as land sold to embassies and sales of leases and licenses, as well as capital transfers, including government debt forgiveness. The use of the term capital account in this context is designed to be consistent with the System of National Accounts, which distinguishes between capital transactions and financial transactions. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.
