On record, the biggest yearly rise was 46.2% in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 14.1% 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 the straight-line trend is upward, about 28.58 billion a year. A straight line explains 95% of the movement over 10 observed years.
