Overview
Algeria's foreign reserves stood at $92.0B in 2025, a rise of +$9.0B from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $92.0B by 2025. Algeria ranked 31st globally.
Algeria’s foreign‑exchange reserves have risen from a modest 265,802,800.00 in 1960 to 91,989,657,804.30 in 2025, placing the country 31st globally. The accumulation accelerated after the 1970s oil boom, reaching an all‑time peak of 201,436,604,411.91 in 2013 before a gradual drawdown that left reserves at roughly half that level a decade later. The lowest recorded stock occurred in 1965, when holdings fell to 184,224,560.00, reflecting limited export earnings and a nascent financial sector. Compared with peers of similar rank, Algeria’s reserves are slightly lower than Libya’s 97,776,518,810.22 but exceed those of the Netherlands (82,853,192,179.57) and Norway (81,107,651,268.04). The recent modest increase suggests a cautious rebuilding of buffers, yet future trajectories will hinge on oil price stability, diversification of export revenues and the effectiveness of fiscal reforms aimed at bolstering reserve accumulation.
