According to the 2026 'Where to Invest in Africa' report by Rand Merchant Bank, Algeria has moved to the eighth spot among 31 analyzed African economies, dropping one place from the previous edition with a score of 0.16. The evaluation, based on 20 distinct metrics, highlights Algeria's economic resilience, driven by foreign exchange reserves sufficient to cover 18 months of imports. However, the report stresses the importance of diversifying revenue sources beyond raw materials, which currently account for 90% of the nation's exports. In North Africa, Egypt retains the third position continent-wide, Morocco climbs to fourth place, while Tunisia slides to the thirteenth spot.
