What the numbers say
In 2025, Iraq's financial Intermediary Services Indirectly Measured (FISIM) (current LCU) rose 33.7% on 2024 (from 2.66 trillion to 3.56 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +28.1% and a typical year strayed about 52.1% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above 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 190.8% in 1995 and the biggest yearly fall was 69.6% in 1980. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 2% 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.
