Algeria has recorded more than 21,000 investment projects since November 2022, according to official data from the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI), reflecting growing investor confidence and accelerated economic reforms. The projects span domestic, foreign, and joint investments, with thousands already entering implementation and production phases, officials stated on national television.
The figures, presented by AAPI Director General Omar Rekkache as of March 31, 2026, highlight a shift beyond declarations toward tangible execution. In the first quarter of 2026 alone, 2,131 new projects were registered, with the potential to generate around 59,000 jobs. This trend underscores the government’s push to convert investment intentions into operational economic assets.
Since its launch in late 2022, the agency has focused on streamlining procedures and improving investor support. Of the total projects recorded, 11,665 have submitted legally required progress reports, while 6,240 have moved into active implementation—representing 54% of declared ongoing projects. Notably, 1,364 projects have already reached the production stage, signaling concrete output within Algeria’s industrial and economic sectors.
This progress aligns with the broader economic strategy led by Abdelmadjid Tebboune, which prioritizes reducing import dependency and strengthening domestic production. Authorities have increasingly emphasized strategic sectors capable of improving macroeconomic balance and supporting long-term industrial growth.
A key pillar of this transformation is the digitization of investment procedures, particularly through the “Investisseur” platform. According to Rekkache, all allocations of economic land are now processed exclusively through this digital system, eliminating discretionary practices and ensuring equal access for all investors, including public enterprises.
The platform also reinforces transparency, a longstanding concern in Algeria’s investment climate. Complementing this, the National Appeals Commission—operating under the Presidency—provides an additional layer of protection for investors by ensuring fair dispute resolution and regulatory oversight.
With thousands of projects still under review across AAPI one-stop shops, Algeria appears to be accelerating its transition toward a more diversified economy. The focus now lies in sustaining implementation rates and converting investment pipelines into long-term productive capacity, reinforcing the country’s shift toward an investment-driven growth model.
