Net ODA Received in Albania (1990-2022): Yearly Data Overview

Albania's Net ODA (% of GNI) experienced dramatic shifts during the early 1990s, peaking at 66.4% in 1992 due to international support for its transition from a communist regime to a market economy. This surge reflected donor efforts to stabilize the country amidst severe economic and social challenges, including high unemployment and poverty. By 1993, the ODA percentage dropped significantly to 22.2%, signaling Albania's gradual stabilization and reduced dependency on external assistance.

In subsequent years, ODA levels steadily declined, reflecting Albania's economic growth and its progress towards EU integration. Notable spikes, such as 14.9% in 1999, were linked to regional crises, including the Kosovo War, which prompted humanitarian aid flows. By the 2000s, Net ODA remained below 10%, stabilizing around 2-3% after 2010, as Albania's increased domestic capacity and international partnerships reduced its reliance on foreign aid.
