Reading A Choppy Series
A series that moves both ways like this is telling you the underlying driver isn't fixed — conditions are shifting, or the indicator itself is sensitive to short-term noise.
Central America (excluding intra-trade)'s number here, like most in this category, is built from a mix of direct measurement and statistical modeling — reliable for tracking direction, less reliable for pinning down an exact year-to-year figure.
The source simply doesn't have a reading for every year in this range — the 2018-to-2022 jump skips real missing years, worth keeping in mind before assuming a smooth path between them.
Small absolute numbers like these amplify percentage swings — the same-sized change in volume looks dramatic as a percentage here in a way it wouldn't for a bigger trade flow. Read the raw numbers, not just the percent.
