Algiers – A new report reveals that Algeria has emerged as the most attractive investment destination in the Maghreb region. The Global Attractiveness Index 2025, published by a leading economic analysis firm, highlights Algeria’s growing ability to attract foreign capital and investments.
Algeria ranked 78th globally out of 146 economies assessed, improving by one position compared to the previous year. More significantly, its score increased from 27.6 to 30 points, positioning it on the cusp of the ‘moderately attractive’ category. This performance places Algeria ahead of its regional neighbors, Morocco (85th globally with 27.5 points) and Tunisia (101st globally with 23 points).
While the numerical difference between Algeria and Morocco may seem small, it signifies a deeper trend of macroeconomic stability and the ability to secure investments in a competitive regional environment.
Notably, Algeria’s success extends beyond the Maghreb, surpassing major African economies traditionally considered economic powerhouses. Algeria outperformed South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, and Cote d’Ivoire in the index. On the African continent, Algeria shares the second position with Egypt, trailing only Mauritius.
This places Algeria among the mere three African economies categorized as ‘moderately attractive,’ a significant achievement given the continent’s 54 nations.
The report attributes Algeria’s positive performance to a combination of factors, including macroeconomic stability, a critical element in fostering investor confidence. Recent structural reforms and a renewed focus on industrial growth have also contributed to this improved attractiveness.
