~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to the given data, the multiplicative growth coefficient in 19 years from 1990 to 2009 years is  


     = 2.353,  


and it is in accordance with  the other form of input data

    2.353 = 1 + 1.353.


Therefore, the annual mean multiplicative growth coefficient is  2.353^(1/19) =  = 1.046.


It means that annual percent increase is 4.6%.    ANSWER
