FDI on the rise: Algeria increasingly attracting foreign investors

In its 2025 report on global investment, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) highlights a significant increase in FDI flows to Algeria, which reached $1.43 billion in 2024, an 18% increase over the previous year, despite a global context marked by economic and geopolitical instability.

According to the report entitled "Global Investment in the Digital Economy", this positive dynamic is mainly attributed to recent legislative reforms, notably the new investment law, which has brought clarity and legal certainty. Algeria is thus demonstrating its determination to diversify its economy, while reducing its dependence on hydrocarbons.




A favourable geostrategic position

UNCTAD also highlights Algeria's strategic position as a prime regional platform for accessing African and European markets. This attractiveness is reinforced by the development of its infrastructure, notably ports, energy and transport, facilitate logistics operations and trade.




In addition to industry, Algeria stands out for the growth potential of sectors such as agriculture, tourism and renewable energies, which represent concrete opportunities for investors. These efforts are part of a public policy resolutely focused on modernization and economic openness.




Digitization and simplification of procedures

The report also praises the progress made in digitalization, notably through the introduction of a digital platform dedicated to investors, designed to simplify and streamline administrative procedures. This innovation is seen as an additional lever for attracting foreign capital.




Finally, UNCTAD notes that Algeria's accession to the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and other international agreements opens up new export prospects to Africa, further enhancing the country's attractiveness. The report also states the importance of available natural resources and a skilled workforce, two major assets for foreign investors.
