| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 18.35% | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 20.97% | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 12.9% | 2014 |
| Highest | 26.35% | 2022 |
| Lowest | 7.26% | 2010 |
| Average since 2015 | 19.01% | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 7.26% | 2010 |
Over five years it is down 2.62 percentage points from 20.97% in 2019. Since 2010 it is up 11.09 percentage points from 7.26% in 2010.
In 2024, Rwanda's transport services (% of service exports, BoP) rose 2.23 percentage points on 2023 (from 16.13% to 18.35%).
Across the 13 yearly changes before that (2011 to 2023), the average change was +0.68 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 3.73 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 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 4.84 percentage points in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 10.22 percentage points 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 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 29% 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.
In 2024, Rwanda had the 15th highest value of the 29 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
