St. Vincent and the Grenadines: Adjusted savings, net forest depletion (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2021, St. Vincent and the Grenadines' adjusted savings, net forest depletion (current US$) fell 21.9% on 2020 (from US$223,671 to US$174,771).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2020), the average change was +7.6% and a typical year strayed about 31.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.9 standard deviations below 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 244.5% in 1990 and the biggest yearly fall was 67.4% in 1983. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2012 to 2021 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 10% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
