Algeria continues to follow an economic doctrine that minimizes reliance on foreign debt, particularly from the IMF, to safeguard its national sovereignty. Influenced by the painful structural adjustment programs of the 1990s, the country currently maintains near-zero external debt levels. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune emphasizes that this strategy allows the state to retain full control over its economic priorities. While the government focuses on mobilizing internal resources, experts highlight that this approach provides significant budgetary flexibility. However, the path to stability relies on diversifying revenues beyond hydrocarbons and boosting domestic industrial production. Rather than isolation, Algeria is actively encouraging productive foreign investment through initiatives like the National Single Window for Investment to foster technology transfer and long-term economic resilience.
