Key figures

What the numbers say

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$549,076 in 2005 and the biggest yearly fall was US$298,037 in 2007. 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 less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
