What the numbers say

This year's change was 2.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1.24 trillion in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 487.24 billion 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 458.33 billion a year. A straight line explains 90% of the movement over 10 observed years.
