The 2027 Finance Bill proposes a new 500 DZD per cubic meter royalty on the commercial extraction of Saharan sand. Drafted under Article 182, this measure seeks to regulate the use of natural resources across 17 southern provinces, particularly for construction, infrastructure, and public works. The government projects annual revenues of 670 million DZD based on an estimated volume of 1.34 million cubic meters. The levy covers various types of sand, including dunes and storm-blown deposits. Currently under parliamentary review, the draft stipulates that payments will be processed through state property offices, with further regulatory details expected to be finalized by joint ministerial orders.
