What the numbers say
In 2024, Nepal's IMF repurchases and charges (TDS, current US$) fell US$27,354 on 2023 (from US$20.66 million to US$20.63 million).

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$12.04 million in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was US$7.06 million in 1991. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 6% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
