Algiers – The Algerian economy demonstrated robust growth in the second quarter of 2025, according to recent data. The National Statistics Office (ONS) revealed a growth rate of 3.9%, a slight increase compared to the 3.7% recorded during the same period last year.
This performance, the ONS indicates, reflects a notable improvement in economic activity, particularly outside the hydrocarbon sector. The report highlights significant growth in the non-hydrocarbon GDP, reaching 5.3%, driven by strong performances across various productive sectors.
The industrial sector experienced a rise of 6.4%, while the trade sector grew by 6.7%. Agricultural output also saw an increase of 4.5%. The electricity and gas sector was the most dynamic, boasting a substantial growth rate of 9.7%.
Regarding domestic demand, the ONS reported a significant increase of 10.2%, compared to 6.8% in the corresponding period of 2024. This surge is primarily attributed to a rise in investments, which increased by 12.4%, indicating an economic shift towards bolstering production and expanding development projects.
Economic observers point to these indicators as evidence of ongoing efforts to support and diversify the national economy, particularly by strengthening non-oil sectors. These sectors are increasingly becoming a key driver of growth in recent years.
