What the numbers say
In 2025, Pakistan's gross national expenditure (constant 2015 US$) rose 3.7% on 2024 (from US$473.07 billion to US$490.73 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +4.1% and a typical year strayed about 3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 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 10.7% in 2005 and the biggest yearly fall was 2.2% in 2020. 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 US$14.9 billion a year. A straight line explains 96% of the movement over 10 observed years.
