Turkmenistan: Adjusted savings, net forest depletion (current US$)

Key figures

Since 1998 it is up 1,090% from US$20,170 in 1998 (11.37% 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 2021, Turkmenistan's adjusted savings, net forest depletion (current US$) rose 8.6% on 2020 (from US$220,954 to US$240,007).

Across the 15 yearly changes before that (1999 to 2020), the average change was +27.9% and a typical year strayed about 73.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 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 283.5% in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 19.8% in 2010. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
