Mozambique: Adjusted savings, energy depletion (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, Mozambique's adjusted savings, energy depletion (current US$) rose 113.5% on 2020 (from US$43.67 million to US$93.21 million).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was +1,504.7% and a typical year strayed about 8,148.1% 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 44,644.8% in 2004 and the biggest yearly fall was 91.2% in 1986. 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 the straight-line trend is downward, about US$19.42 million a year. A straight line explains 35% of the movement over 10 observed years.
