Data notes & caveats

The flow and negative-valuation components add exactly to US$29.995 billion. Their percentage shares are analytical divisions of the published component amounts by that total.

Methodology

The comparison uses the published total reserve decline as the true denominator and calculates each published component’s share of that total.

Source consistency notes

All component and total values come from the same Bank of Algeria report, use the same full-year 2016 period and US$ billion unit.
