On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$1.94 billion in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was US$4.39 billion in 2022. 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 21% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
