Liechtenstein: GNI per capita (current LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2023, Liechtenstein's GNI per capita (current LCU) rose 25,454 on 2022 (from 149,518 to 174,971).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2022), the average change was +2,447 and a typical year strayed about 11,677 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.0 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 30,677 in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 21,732 in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 26% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
