Diverse Sectors Propel Algerian Non-Hydrocarbon Exports in Q1

Algeria recorded a progression in its non-hydrocarbon exports during the first quarter of 2026, demonstrating an increase in this key economic sector. This growth aligns with the national strategy to diversify the economy beyond energy revenues, reflecting a dynamic economic environment focused on broadening export capabilities.

The observed increase in non-hydrocarbon exports was driven by a variety of sectors, including fertilizers, steel, inorganic chemistry, home appliances, and agri-food products. This broad-based contribution underscores the expanding productive capacity within Algeria and its potential to engage with external markets across diverse industries.

The positive export performance occurs within a dynamic economic context, which includes a series of successes in various industrial sectors. The private sector is increasingly playing a central role as a partner in the diversification of the national economy, reinforcing the ongoing efforts to expand Algeria's presence in international trade.
