Analysis# Algeria Real GDP Growth
Algeria's real GDP growth stands at 2.9% for 2026, reflecting moderate economic expansion amid a recovery from pandemic disruptions. Since 1980, the country has achieved cumulative growth of 153.7%, though performance has fluctuated significantly. The nation's peak growth rate of 6.5% occurred in 2003, while the lowest point of -5.4% struck in 1980. Current growth remains well below historical highs but substantially above its worst contraction.
A sharp COVID-19 downturn in 2020 (-5.0%) marked the most dramatic recent shock, followed by a swift rebound to 3.8% in 2021. Growth has since stabilized between 3.4% and 4.1% from 2021 to 2024, demonstrating resilience in Algeria's economic base. Projections for 2025 and 2026 indicate a gradual deceleration, with growth expected to soften to 2.9% by 2026, suggesting moderating momentum ahead.
