What the numbers say
In 2025, Portugal's GNI per capita (constant LCU) rose 374.94 on 2024 (from 22,348 to 22,723).
Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2024), the average change was +256.57 and a typical year strayed about 495.38 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 920.09 in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 1,396 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 389.85 a year. A straight line explains 82% of the movement over 10 observed years.

A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 23,630 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 684.23, against 1,358 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.
