What the numbers say
In 2025, Senegal's terms of trade adjustment (constant LCU) rose 739.17 billion on 2024 (from 760.04 billion to 1.5 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +40.12 billion and a typical year strayed about 131.26 billion from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 5.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 739.17 billion in 2025 and the biggest yearly fall was 331.21 billion 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 90.58 billion a year. A straight line explains 53% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
The terms of trade adjustment is equal to the capacity to import (current price value of exports of goods and services deflated by the import price index) less exports of goods and services in constant prices. 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.
