Tindouf Free Trade Zone set for delivery by year-end

The commercial free zone in Tindouf province is scheduled to be handed over before the end of this year, with construction works now fully completed. Spanning 200 hectares, this strategic project—launched in 2024 by the Algerian and Mauritanian presidents—features warehouses, exhibition areas, and essential administrative, banking, and security facilities. The zone aims to boost trade relations with Mauritania and West African nations while fostering local economic development and employment in the Tindouf region. This initiative is part of a broader national plan involving five free trade zones across the country's southern borders. The project reflects Algeria's strategic commitment to African economic integration. Meanwhile, official figures indicate that non-hydrocarbon exports reached $5.16 billion by the end of 2025, marking an increase compared to the previous year.
