What the numbers say
In 2024, Tonga's exports of goods and services (current LCU) rose 26.2% on 2023 (from 205.83 million to 259.77 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +8.1% and a typical year strayed about 22.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 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 58.6% in 2016 and the biggest yearly fall was 43.2% in 2021. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
