Minister Mohamed Arkab confirmed the rising European demand for Algerian gas during a session at the National People's Assembly. Algeria has secured its market position by renewing and signing long-term supply agreements with partners including Germany, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic. Financially, petroleum tax revenues hit 2,841 billion dinars, exceeding 2026 forecasts by 5%. Sonatrach's investments also rose by 21%, surpassing 6 billion dollars compared to the previous year. For the first nine months of 2026, hydrocarbon export revenues reached 37.5 billion dollars, driven by higher global prices for crude oil and natural gas. Additionally, the industry supports approximately 193,000 jobs, with new employment opportunities generated throughout the period.
