What the numbers say
In 2024, United Kingdom's net ODA provided, total (constant 2023 US$) fell 17.1% on 2023 (from US$18.62 billion to US$15.44 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +5.6% and a typical year strayed about 14% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.6 standard deviations below 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 38.9% in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 34.8% in 1980. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is downward, about US$557.63 million a year. A straight line explains 46% of the movement over 10 observed years.
