Making Sense Of The Swings

This chart doesn't support a simple narrative. It moves up, it moves down — pick any two years and you can tell almost any story you want. Look at the whole series, not a slice of it.

Check the source link for methodology before quoting a specific year from this chart — Lao PDR's underlying statistics agency, like most, revises and re-estimates historical figures as better data comes in.
