Albania: Gross fixed capital formation (constant LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Albania's gross fixed capital formation (constant LCU) rose 5% on 2024 (from 545.6 billion to 572.99 billion).

Across the 29 yearly changes before that (1996 to 2024), the average change was +6.6% and a typical year strayed about 12.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 42.6% in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 20.6% in 1997. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 19.89 billion a year. A straight line explains 91% of the movement over 10 observed years.
