Angola’s foreign exchange reserves have risen from a modest 228,335,521.18 in 1995 to 14,136,707,612.81 in 2025, placing the country 72nd globally. The reserve stock surged to an all‑time peak of 31,500,815,461.66 in 2013, reflecting a period of strong oil export earnings and fiscal consolidation, before falling to a trough of 202,442,614.08 in 1998 amid post‑civil‑war instability and limited external financing. Over the 31‑year span, the reserve trajectory shows a pronounced expansion after the early 2000s, narrowing the gap with peers such as the Slovak Republic (14,563,010,775.92) and Pakistan (13,886,844,815.33). While the 2025 level remains well below the 2013 high, the sustained upward trend suggests that continued diversification of export revenues and prudent macro‑economic policies could further bolster reserves, provided external shocks are managed effectively.
