Algeria

Africa’s largest nation by land, home to 47.4 million, where every household has electricity and public debt reached 52.1% of GDP in 2025, financed almost entirely at home.

Perfect Nations values what Algeria owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

01Assets · The cup · Sovereign Assets

Five assets no balance sheet counts.

Each is owned today, earns today, and can carry Algeria toward seven basic standards of living for every citizen.

  • $51.0bnGross official reserves, 2025

    The Reserves

    A national cushion few nations hold, enough to anchor long-term finance at home.

  • 2.38M km²Land area, 2024

    The Land

    Africa’s largest territory: desert sun, gas fields and a Mediterranean coast.

  • 22.6%Of GDP from natural resource rents, 2021

    The Ground

  • 100%Of citizens with electricity, 2024

    The Grid

    Every household connected, and every kitchen cooking with clean fuels: a base for industry beyond hydrocarbons.

  • 47.4mCitizens, 2025

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Algeria. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.
