Key figures

What the numbers say

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.98 percentage points in 2010 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.99 percentage points in 2011. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2013 to 2022 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 8% of the movement over 9 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
