IMF Executive Board Concludes 2023 Article IV Consultation with Algeria
March 29, 2024
The Algerian economy was still emerging from the Covid pandemic when spillovers from Russia’s war in Ukraine and recurrent droughts pushed up inflation, while high international hydrocarbon prices boosted government revenue and exports. The Algerian economy is estimated to have grown by 4.2 percent in 2023, a robust performance owing to a rebound in hydrocarbon production and strong performance in the industry, construction, and service sectors. The external position remained solid with a current account surplus for the second year in a row. However, inflation pressures persisted (primarily due to high food prices) and monetary policy remained accommodative. The fiscal deficit is estimated to have widened, albeit less than foreseen in the 2023 revised budget because of relatively slow execution rates.
