On record, the biggest yearly rise was 13,802 in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was 1,203 in 2018. 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 5,610 a year. A straight line explains 86% of the movement over 10 observed years.
