On record, the biggest yearly rise was 36.3% in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 38.1% in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2013 to 2022 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 28% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
