| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 24.27% | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 25.2% | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 26.08% | 2015 |
| Highest | 38.45% | 2005 |
| Lowest | 5.66% | 1992 |
| Average since 2016 | 25.34% | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 35.15% | 1980 |
Over five years it is down 0.93 percentage points from 25.2% in 2020. Since 1980 it is down 10.88 percentage points from 35.15% in 1980.
In 2025, Albania's gross fixed capital formation (% of GDP) fell 0.09 percentage points on 2024 (from 24.36% to 24.27%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +0.18 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 2.43 percentage points 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 8.07 percentage points in 2000 and the biggest yearly fall was 22.76 percentage points in 1991. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 28% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2025, Albania had the 42nd highest value of the 126 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Gross fixed capital formation includes acquisitions less disposals of fixed assets during the accounting period, including certain specified expenditures on services that add to the value of non-produced assets. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
