What the numbers say
In 2021, Switzerland's adjusted net savings, including particulate emission damage (current US$) rose 49.9% on 2020 (from US$85.94 billion to US$128.79 billion).
Across the 25 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2020), the average change was +3.2% and a typical year strayed about 19% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.5 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 49.9% in 2021 and the biggest yearly fall was 31.3% in 2008. 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 28% 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.
