What the numbers say
In 2025, Niger's gross national expenditure (current LCU) rose 1.3% on 2024 (from 12.73 trillion to 12.9 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +8.5% and a typical year strayed about 5.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.3 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 36% in 1990 and the biggest yearly fall was 12.9% in 1975. 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 718.84 billion a year. A straight line explains 98% of the movement over 10 observed years.
