New Caledonia: Goods exports (current US$, BoP)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2016, New Caledonia's goods exports (current US$, BoP) rose 7.8% on 2015 (from US$1.24 billion to US$1.34 billion).

Across the 13 yearly changes before that (2003 to 2015), the average change was +12.9% and a typical year strayed about 33.9% 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 68.4% in 2003 and the biggest yearly fall was 41.9% in 2008. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2007 to 2016 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 8% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
