What the numbers say
In 2024, Niger's high-technology exports (current US$) rose 141.9% on 2023 (from US$2.6 million to US$6.3 million).
Across the 14 yearly changes before that (2010 to 2023), the average change was +102.6% and a typical year strayed about 303.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above 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 1,029.1% in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 83.7% in 2015. 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 11% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
High-technology exports are products with high R&D intensity, such as aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, and electrical machinery.
Limitations: The indicator is based on data reported by countries to COMTRADE. The export values presented in the World Development Indicators represent Gross Exports less Re-Exports. The values may be impacted in cases of reporting errors or missing data, for example if countries do not report Re-Exports for one or more periods.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
