What the numbers say
In 2025, Samoa's service exports (current US$, BoP) rose 0.2% on 2024 (from US$327.38 million to US$328 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1990 to 2024), the average change was +11.3% and a typical year strayed about 32.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 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 132.2% in 1980 and the biggest yearly fall was 72.7% 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 7% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
