| Feb 22, 2022 at 6:17 | comment | added | Kosuke | Thank you, Jack. I totally agree with your interpretation. The "higher than the previous highest year" interpretation was not mine, but by another native speaker. Thanks again. | |

| Feb 22, 2022 at 6:06 | comment | added | Jack O'Flaherty | @Kosuke The likeliest meaning is what I suggested above - 6% higher than the corresponding figure in any previous year. Your suggestion, ...6% higher than the previous highest year is equivalent to 6% higher than any prior year. | |
| Feb 22, 2022 at 5:14 | comment | added | Kosuke | What do you think the writer meant? Is it the same as "up by 6% than the previous year and this big increase is the highest increase of all the previous years"? | |
