Investment in Algeria: Over 21,000 projects registered and tangible progress on the ground

Appearing on Algerian television, the Director General of the AAPI, Omar Rekkache, presented a comprehensive review of the situation as at 31 March 2026. The indicators reveal not only a massive volume of planned investments, but above all a significant shift towards the implementation phase.

Algeria – United Kingdom: the agri-food sector at the heart of a strategic economic partnership in London

The first quarter of 2026 is set to be a period of growth

In the first quarter of 2026 alone, the agency registered 2,131 new projects. These investments, which combine domestic capital, foreign direct investment (FDI) and joint ventures, are expected to create around 59,000 jobs in the long term.

According to Mr Rekkache, this momentum can be attributed to the ongoing efforts to support investors and the commitment to turning every registered project into a production facility that generates wealth and economic sovereignty.

From declaration to production: the figures speak for themselves

One of the key points of this presentation concerns the success rate of projects:

A total of 21,000 projects have been registered since November 2022.

A progress report has been submitted for 11,665 projects in accordance with the law.

6,240 projects have entered the implementation phase (representing 54% of projects reported as ongoing).

1,364 projects are already in the production phase.

The agency is focusing its efforts on strategic sectors capable of reducing the import bill and strengthening macroeconomic stability, in line with the guidance of the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune.

The ‘Investor’ platform: A bastion of transparency

The management of commercial land, once a major stumbling block for investment, seems to have found a solution thanks to digitalisation. Omar Rekkache was categorical: no land plots are now allocated outside the ‘Investisseur’ digital platform.

This ironclad rule applies to everyone, including state-owned enterprises, thereby guaranteeing absolute equality of opportunity and complete transparency. At the same time, the role of the National Appeals Commission, which operates under the auspices of the Presidency, serves to strengthen the protection of investors’ rights and ensure fair treatment.

With thousands of projects currently under review at the AAPI’s one-stop shops, Algeria appears to have shifted into high gear. The ultimate goal remains the diversification of the national economy through a robust industrial base, supported by an administration that now aims to act as a facilitator rather than a bureaucratic body.
