To a first approximation you can assume the succesive differences are uncorrelated, and then you could try to do a linear fit. Which in this case means an average of the 3rd column. And then you remove the outlier because it has a large Mahalanobis distance.
What you should try to do is filter (e.g., taking successive differences is a filter) the original series untill you get something that presumably is stationary and then fit some sort of ad-hoc model. ARIMA models are ways to reduce the model to some linear regression or other, and you always have the issue of outlier rejection.

But then again, GDP growth isn't uncorrelated either...
