What the numbers say
In 2024, Norway's net ODA provided, total (constant 2023 US$) fell 4.5% on 2023 (from US$5.29 billion to US$5.06 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +3.4% and a typical year strayed about 9.6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 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 75.4% in 1968 and the biggest yearly fall was 15.4% in 2021. 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 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
