What the numbers say
In 2025, Paraguay's GNI per capita (current LCU) rose 4.05 million on 2024 (from 46.89 million to 50.94 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +1.46 million and a typical year strayed about 1.07 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 4.05 million in 2025 and the biggest yearly fall was 126,133 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 2.07 million a year. A straight line explains 94% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 53.83 million for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 3.7 million, against 5.59 million for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
