What the numbers say
In 2021, Switzerland's adjusted net national income per capita (current US$) rose US$6,660 on 2020 (from US$62,971 to US$69,632).
Across the 25 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2020), the average change was +US$896.72 and a typical year strayed about US$3,144 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.8 standard deviations above 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 US$7,460 in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was US$4,452 in 1997. 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 22% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
