Rezervave

Rezervave is the Albanian term for reserves or stockpiles kept for future use. The word covers multiple domains, including finance, government budgeting, and natural resources. In general, rezervat refer to assets or materials held in readiness to meet future needs, contingencies, or shortages. The usage varies by sector.

In economics and public finance, monetary reserves are assets held by central banks or governments to influence liquidity, stabilize the currency, and meet external obligations. Foreign exchange reserves, sovereign wealth fund assets, and contingency funds constitute this category.

In the context of energy and natural resources, reserves refer to quantities of a resource that can be recovered economically under current conditions. They are classified by certainty: proven, probable, and possible; and by stage. Estimates may be updated as new data become available. Measurement relies on geological surveys, drilling results, and economic assumptions, and estimates can change with prices and technology.

In business contexts, companies hold safety stock to manage supply chain disruptions, and governments maintain strategic reserves of critical goods such as fuel or food to ensure security and continuity of supply.

Notes: The term is widely used in Albanian official and financial terminology. It is etymologically related to the Latin reservare and to the English reserve, reflecting its broad meaning of stock kept for future use.
