What the numbers say
In 2021, Kuwait's adjusted savings, net forest depletion (current US$) fell 6% on 2020 (from US$522,334 to US$490,953).

This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations below 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 200.8% in 1986 and the biggest yearly fall was 62.3% in 1985. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 27% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
