### Executive summary and scope
- Reviews the Fiscal Transparency Module for Algeria.
- Focus areas include: budget planning and preparation; expenditure; fiscal accounting and reporting; fiscal law; fiscal policy; public debt; public financial management (PFM).

### Key findings on central bank and exchange regime operations
- The Bank of Algeria (BA) does not apply multicurrency practices.
- The BA does not require import deposits.
- As a result, there are no quasi-fiscal activities in exchange regime-related operations.

### Key findings on financial system-related operations
- No bailouts have been carried out by the BA.
- There are no longer any caps on credit.

### Findings on privatization and transparency
- Privatization procedures are characterized by considerable flexibility.
- In practice, this flexibility limits transparency.
