Solomon Islands: Claims on other sectors of the domestic economy (% of GDP)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Solomon Islands' claims on other sectors of the domestic economy (% of GDP) fell 2.2 percentage points on 2024 (from 35.48% to 33.28%).

Across the 23 yearly changes before that (2002 to 2024), the average change was +0.52 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.7 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.0 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 9.45 percentage points in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.32 percentage points in 2003. 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.
