Key figures

Since 1998 it is up 928.94% from US$486.43 in 1998 (11.74% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 6 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2019, Turkmenistan's adjusted net national income per capita (current US$) rose US$616.96 on 2018 (from US$4,388 to US$5,005).

This year's change was 1.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$680.18 in 2009 and the biggest yearly fall was US$128.63 in 2000. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
