What the numbers say
In 2025, St. Kitts and Nevis' secondary income receipts (BoP, current US$) rose 2.5% on 2024 (from US$31.76 million to US$32.54 million).

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 170.2% in 2019 and the biggest yearly fall was 59.3% in 2000. 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 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
