What the numbers say
In 2022, Qatar's gross domestic savings (current US$) rose 44.3% on 2021 (from US$110.49 billion to US$159.4 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1992 to 2021), the average change was +17.1% and a typical year strayed about 27.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 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 75.3% in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 48.6% in 1986. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2013 to 2022 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.
