What the numbers say
In 2020, United Arab Emirates' adjusted net national income (current US$) fell 16.1% on 2019 (from US$379.68 billion to US$318.73 billion).
Across the 19 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2019), the average change was +8.1% and a typical year strayed about 11.1% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.2 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 23.4% in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 18.6% in 2009. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2011 to 2020 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 13% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures
Adjusted net national income is GNI minus consumption of fixed capital and natural resources depletion. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.
Limitations: Adjusted net national income differs from the adjustments made in the calculation of adjusted net savings, by not accounting for investments in human capital or the damages from pollution. Thus, adjusted net national income remains within the boundaries of the United Nations System of National Accounts (SNA). The SNA includes non-produced natural assets (such as land, mineral resources, and forests) within the asset boundary when they are under the effective control of institutional units. The calculation of adjusted net national income, which accounts for net forest, energy, and mineral depletion, as well as consumption of fixed capital, thus remains within the SNA boundaries.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a gap-filled total.
