What the numbers say
In 2025, Lithuania's gross capital formation (annual % growth) rose 15.8 percentage points on 2024 (from 3.51% to 19.32%).
Across the 28 yearly changes before that (1997 to 2024), the average change was −0.76 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 25.8 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 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 88.63 percentage points in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was 57.56 percentage points 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 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 12% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
