On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3.8% in 2018 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.7% in 2020. 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 4,663 a year. A straight line explains 83% of the movement over 10 observed years.
