What the numbers say

In 2022, Syrian Arab Republic's public and publicly guaranteed debt service (% of GNI) did not change 0 percentage points on 2021 (from 0% to 0%).

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.09 percentage points in 2018 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.17 percentage points in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2022 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 1% of the movement over 8 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
