What the numbers say
In 2025, Tuvalu's GNI (current LCU) rose 21.6% on 2024 (from 119.13 million to 144.88 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +5.4% and a typical year strayed about 13% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.2 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 33.8% in 2015 and the biggest yearly fall was 28.5% in 2003. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 5.43 million a year. A straight line explains 79% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 148.04 million for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 13.35 million, against 18.45 million for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
