What the numbers say
In 2023, Mexico's domestic private health expenditure per capita, PPP (current international $) rose 60.64 on 2022 (from 642.14 to 702.78).
Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2022), the average change was +16.82 and a typical year strayed about 21.35 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 65.37 in 2003 and the biggest yearly fall was 39.05 in 2010. 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 20.63 a year. A straight line explains 88% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 713.42 for 2026. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2021 to 2023 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 48.97, against 99.32 for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
