Key figures

What the numbers say

This year's change was 0.2 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 400% in 1994 and the biggest yearly fall was 60% in 1995. 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 2024 the straight-line trend is downward, about 35.03 a year. A straight line explains 85% of the movement over 10 observed years.
