What the numbers say
In 2023, Zimbabwe's technical cooperation grants (BoP, current US$) fell 36.6% on 2022 (from US$61.2 million to US$38.82 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2022), the average change was −1.8% and a typical year strayed about 20.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.7 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 441.9% in 1980 and the biggest yearly fall was 68.2% in 1969. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
