Core Viewpoint - Algeria is undergoing a challenging economic transformation due to the significant reduction in foreign exchange reserves since 2014, driven by international oil price fluctuations. The government is actively seeking economic diversification through manufacturing upgrades, agricultural modernization, and tourism development, while implementing strict import restrictions to conserve foreign reserves and promote local production [1][4].

For instance, a 500ml bottle of soy sauce costs 1,700 dinars (approximately 93 RMB), and a 5kg bag of rice is priced at 5,500 dinars (approximately 302 RMB) [2]. - The restrictions have also resulted in a significant increase in the prices of used cars, with a 2017 model now costing around 4.5 million dinars (approximately 250,000 RMB), nearly double the price from a few years ago [2]. Economic Recovery Indicators - From 2020 to 2023, Algeria's import expenditure decreased from $56 billion to $35 billion, a reduction of over 35%. Concurrently, foreign exchange reserves increased from $61 billion in 2022 to an expected $71.8 billion in 2024 [4]. - The local production capacity for everyday goods and home appliances has improved significantly, although shortages remain in sectors like automotive and high-end electronics due to a lack of mature supply chains and skilled labor [4].

The government anticipates GDP growth to rise from 4.2% in 2024 to 4.5% in 2025, with exports reaching $50.9 billion and imports at $46.07 billion [6].
