What the numbers say
In 2024, Samoa's IMF repurchases and charges (TDS, current US$) fell 36.2% on 2023 (from US$2.13 million to US$1.36 million).

This year's change was 0.2 standard deviations below 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 17,792.2% in 2015 and the biggest yearly fall was 76.6% in 2008. 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 less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
