Russian Federation: GNI (annual % growth)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, Russian Federation's GNI (annual % growth) rose 21.21 percentage points on 2020 (from -6.3% to 14.91%).

Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1992 to 2020), the average change was +0.09 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 10.15 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.1 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 25.87 percentage points in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was 25.09 percentage points in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2012 to 2021 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 8% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures

Gross national income is the total income earned by all residents within an economic territory during an accounting period. It is equal to gross domestic product plus earned income receivable from abroad minus earned income payable abroad. This indicator denotes the percentage change over each previous year of the constant price (base year 2015) series in United States dollars.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
