What the numbers say
In 2025, Poland's changes in inventories (current LCU) rose 5.45 billion on 2024 (from 27.41 billion to 32.86 billion).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2024), the average change was +681.24 million and a typical year strayed about 44.76 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above 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 119.6 billion in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 182.28 billion in 2023. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
