Slovak Republic: Net ODA provided to the least developed countries (% of GNI)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2023, Slovak Republic's net ODA provided to the least developed countries (% of GNI) rose 0 percentage points on 2022 (from 0.000621% to 0.00205%).

Across the 18 yearly changes before that (2003 to 2022), the average change was −0 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.01 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above 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 0 percentage points in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.03 percentage points in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 6% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
