What the numbers say
In 2025, Peru's gross national expenditure (current LCU) rose 6.7% on 2024 (from 1.03 trillion to 1.1 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +8.2% and a typical year strayed about 6.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 5,835.2% in 1990 and the biggest yearly fall was 8.2% 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 51.44 billion a year. A straight line explains 92% of the movement over 10 observed years.
