Togo: Gross national expenditure (% of GDP)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2023, Togo's gross national expenditure (% of GDP) fell 0.79 percentage points on 2022 (from 111.56% to 110.77%).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2022), the average change was +0.13 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.28 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 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 35.68 percentage points in 1975 and the biggest yearly fall was 24.42 percentage points in 1974. 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 17% 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.
