What the numbers say
In 2021, Israel's adjusted savings, net national savings (% of GNI) rose 0.49 percentage points on 2020 (from 14.06% to 14.55%).
Across the 25 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2020), the average change was +0.2 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.13 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 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 1.96 percentage points in 2005 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.25 percentage points 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 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.46 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 77% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 15.58% for 2024. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2019 to 2021 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 0.33%, against 1.71% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

What this measures
Net national savings are equal to gross national savings less the value of consumption of fixed capital. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross National Income (GNI) which is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
