What the numbers say
In 2025, Israel's gross capital formation (annual % growth) rose 16.29 percentage points on 2024 (from -8.92% to 7.38%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −0.58 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 6.61 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 27.91 percentage points in 1990 and the biggest yearly fall was 36.27 percentage points in 1992. 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 14% 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.
