What the numbers say
In 2018, Yemen, Rep.'s final consumption expenditure (current LCU) rose 26.1% on 2017 (from 12.16 trillion to 15.33 trillion).
Across the 27 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2017), the average change was +18.5% and a typical year strayed about 11% from that (the standard deviation). 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 54.5% in 1995 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.5% in 2016. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2009 to 2018 the straight-line trend is upward, about 988.9 billion a year. A straight line explains 94% 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 16.24 trillion for 2021. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2016 to 2018 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 1.12 trillion, against 1.99 trillion 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.
