Overall: 
Good article, well sourced and reads well. Only 4 prior DYKs, so no QPQ needed. Passed earwig test. ALT1 is the most interesting, but I think it should give a time period for the 6% - my read of the source is that it is referring to June 2023? Onceinawhile (talk) 12:13, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
- The number has stayed constant between January and June this year, so I think a present tense is justifiable for catchiness. No objection against the following however:
