  "summary": "Algeria is seeking to enhance economic growth and resilience and diversify its economy away from hydrocarbons. To achieve this, the authorities are pursuing large foundational investment projects, import substitution and nonhydrocarbon export-promotion policies, alongside reforms to enhance tax administration and public financial management, improve governance and the business environment, and to reduce informality through digitalization and tax-regime reforms. These efforts have supported diversification and robust growth, although large fiscal deficits have eroded fiscal and external buffers and increased financing pressures.",
