What the numbers say
In 2025, Senegal's gross capital formation (constant LCU) fell 5.6% on 2024 (from 6.92 trillion to 6.54 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +10.6% and a typical year strayed about 14.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 46.2% in 1984 and the biggest yearly fall was 42.4% in 1994. 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 433.67 billion a year. A straight line explains 87% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Gross capital formation includes acquisitions less disposals of produced assets for purposes of fixed capital formation, inventories or valuables. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
