Why This Keeps Falling
No reversal across 10 straight years is the signal itself. Numbers that move this cleanly are usually tracking something structural — a policy, a build-out, a demographic shift — not short-term noise.
This chart answers 'what happened' for Saudi Arabia, not 'is that good or bad' — that second question needs a comparison point, either other countries or a longer run of history than what's shown here.
This kind of indicator is almost never measured continuously — it's estimated from periodic data collection, published and later revised by Saudi Arabia's statistical authority. Direction is the reliable part; individual years less so.
