What the numbers say
In 2021, Mauritius' adjusted net national income per capita (current US$) rose US$73.21 on 2020 (from US$8,094 to US$8,168).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was +US$190.92 and a typical year strayed about US$639.74 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 US$1,154 in 2008 and the biggest yearly fall was US$2,169 in 2020. 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 11% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
