On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.04 in 2005 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.02 in 2017. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2011 to 2020 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 20% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
