### Overview and scope
- This paper offers Algeria's recent experience with macroeconomic stabilization and systemic transformation from a centrally planned to a market economy.
- The analysis focuses on the period since 1994 when Algeria embarked on a comprehensive reform program.
- To better understand this experience, the paper provides background information on Algeria's political history and economic developments during the period preceding the Stand-By arrangement.

### IMF support and reform program chronology
- Algeria benefited from IMF support:
  - first through a one-year Stand-by Arrangement;
  - and from May 1995, through a three-year arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility.
- The reform effort examined in the paper centers on developments since 1994.
