New Permanent Committee Established to Oversee Import Operations

The government has issued an executive decree establishing a permanent committee under the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion to oversee and process import applications. This body includes representatives from the financial sector, the Bank of Algeria, and professional economic councils to ensure a collaborative approach. The committee is tasked with reviewing import requests and analyzing data from the official digital portal. A key function of this committee is to provide expedited handling for sensitive and priority goods, ensuring both market supply and the continuity of industrial production. Furthermore, the decree mandates that the Minister in charge must submit weekly activity reports to the Prime Minister. The committee is authorized to set its own internal rules and consult with external experts to streamline its operations.
