| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 3.5 | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 4 | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 4 | 2015 |
| Highest | 4 | 2007 |
| Lowest | 3.5 | 2005 |
| Average since 2016 | 3.95 | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 3.5 | 2005 |
Over five years it is down 12.5% from 4 in 2020 (2.64% a year on average, compounded). Since 2005 it is unchanged at from 3.5 in 2005.
In 2025, St. Lucia's CPIA equity of public resource use rating (1=low to 6=high) fell 0.5 on 2024 (from 4 to 3.5).
Across the 19 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2024), the average change was +0.03 and a typical year strayed about 0.2 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.5 in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.5 in 2011. 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 27% 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.
In 2025, St. Lucia had the 22nd highest value of the 72 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Equity of public resource use assesses the extent to which the pattern of public expenditures and revenue collection affects the poor and is consistent with national poverty reduction priorities.
Limitations: The CPIA exercise is intended to capture the quality of a country's policies and institutional arrangements, focusing on key elements that are within the country's control, rather than on outcomes (such as economic growth rates) that are influenced by events beyond the country's control. More specifically, the CPIA measures the extent to which a country's policy and institutional framework supports sustainable growth and poverty reduction and, consequently, the effective use of development assistance.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a unweighted average.
