Various opportunities for your business in Algeria

Economically, Algeria is one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It is rapidly becoming an attractive destination to foreign investors. Being an open window to Europe through the Mediterranean Sea and a gateway to Africa endows Algeria with a strategic geographic location facilitating international exchange at all levels, hence offering a wide range of economic partnership opportunities.

Algeria is the largest country in Africa in terms of land mass. It offers a huge untapped natural resource, large domestic market and young and skilled work force.  In line with the country’s consistent efforts to encourage and facilitate overseas investments, Algeria adopted a new Investment Law No. 22-18 on 24 July 2022 (the “Law”) replacing the prior 2016 investment law. This change will facilitate, streamline and stimulate foreign direct investments.
