What the numbers say
In 2025, Seychelles' discrepancy in expenditure estimate of GDP (constant LCU) rose 430,000 on 2024 (from 410,000 to 840,000).
Across the 10 yearly changes before that (2015 to 2024), the average change was +31,710 and a typical year strayed about 376,951 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.1 standard deviations above 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 680,100 in 2022 and the biggest yearly fall was 760,000 in 2024. 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 111,018 a year. A straight line explains 58% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Although the SNA ensures there is perfect consistency between the three measures of GDP, this is a conceptual consistency that in general does not emerge naturally from data compilations. This is because of the wide disparity of data sources that must be called on and the fact that any error in any source will lead to a difference between at least two of the GDP measures. In practice it is inevitable that many such data errors will exist and will become apparent in exercises such as the balancing of supply and use tables. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the underlying series have been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country.
