What the numbers say
In 2021, United Arab Emirates' adjusted savings, consumption of fixed capital (current US$) rose 20% on 2020 (from US$18.37 billion to US$22.04 billion).

This year's change was 0.7 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 89.5% in 2005 and the biggest yearly fall was 49.9% in 2010. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$652.56 million a year. A straight line explains 80% of the movement over 10 observed years.
