What the numbers say
From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 4% of the movement over 9 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.
