Somalia, Fed. Rep.: Net financial flows, IDA (NFL, current US$)

Key figures

Since 1971 it is down 100% from US$1.53 million in 1971. The World Bank has no value for 8 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2024, Somalia, Fed. Rep.'s net financial flows, IDA (NFL, current US$) rose US$11.76 million on 2023 (from −US$11.76 million to US$0).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1983 to 2023), the average change was +US$8.33 million and a typical year strayed about US$49.42 million from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 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 US$265.11 million in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was US$31.86 million in 1991. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 1% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
