Tajikistan: Net domestic credit (current LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2023, Tajikistan's net domestic credit (current LCU) rose 42.8% on 2022 (from 10.03 billion to 14.32 billion).

Across the 24 yearly changes before that (1999 to 2022), the average change was +24.7% and a typical year strayed about 45.4% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above 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 137.5% in 2011 and the biggest yearly fall was 48.1% in 2010. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 18% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
