• The latest figure is MVR 4.56 billion for Q2 2026, down 14.3% on the same quarter a year earlier.
• In the first 2 quarters of 2026 the total was MVR 11.47 billion, down 5% on the same stretch of 2025.
• Over the latest 12 months it came to MVR 23.76 billion, up 2.3% on the 12 months before.
• The change on a year earlier averaged −6.0% over the last two quarters, against +10.3% in the two quarters before: the year-on-year change has turned negative.

• Trend growth over the past 10 years is 6.4% a year (least-squares fit on the logarithm; R² 0.33, a loose fit: the series has not followed a steady path, and this rate says little).
• Measured end to end, compound growth is 19.4% a year over five years and 6% a year over ten, on 12-month totals.
• The record high (12-month total) was MVR 24.52 billion in the year to Q1 2026; the latest is 3.1% below it.
• The past five years include an exceptional swing in the annual growth rate, so no typical range is quoted.
• There is a regular seasonal pattern: over the last 5 full years the high point has been the first quarter and the low point the second quarter. Compare each quarter with the same one a year earlier, not with the one before.
