The African Development Bank (AfDB) confirmed on Friday that Algeria is among the top-performing countries on the continent. This assessment was featured in the bank's semi-annual report, titled "Africa’s Macroeconomic Performance and Outlook."
The report highlighted that the Algerian economy recorded a growth rate of 3.3 percent in 2025, compared to 3.6 percent in 2024. The bank projected that Algeria's economic growth would accelerate to 3.9 percent in 2026, eventually reaching 4 percent in 2027.
According to the African Development Bank, this growth is primarily driven by Algerian investments in partnership with foreign companies. The report also pointed to Algeria's strategic goals of modernizing and expanding its oil and gas production networks, alongside a high level of public expenditure.
This spending is directed toward strengthening social infrastructure, in addition to an increase in household consumption expenditures. Furthermore, the AfDB praised the improvement in inflation rates, noting that Algeria has achieved some of the best results on the continent in this regard.
Algeria is also characterized by a secure level of foreign exchange (Forex) reserves, placing it at the forefront of the best economies in terms of reserves in North Africa. The African Development Bank concluded by emphasizing that the Algerian economy has become one of the most resilient in Africa.
