How this story was produced

This piece was drafted by an artificial intelligence agent from the Data360 indicator cited below. The agent follows style anchors from the Reuters Handbook of Journalism and the AP Stylebook, narrates from the lead country outward to the region and the world, and runs the piece through an automated validation protocol (Q1–Q12 — see methodology) before publishing.

What the AI did: read the indicator's series, detected the change, built context (historical data, regional comparables, local press), wrote the narrative, tagged every figure with its source, and validated the piece against the dataset.
What the AI did not do: human editorial review before publishing.

Figures in the text are underlined — tap any of them to verify against the source data.
