GDP (Gross Domestic Product): Algeria

Analysis# Algeria GDP (Gross Domestic Product) Algeria's GDP reached $284.984 billion in 2026, slightly below its all-time peak of $288.013 billion in 2025. Since 1980, the economy has expanded 520.1%, climbing from a baseline of just $45.654 billion in 1995. The country has transformed from a modest regional economy into a substantial player on the African continent, driven largely by hydrocarbon exports and diversification efforts. The 2020 contraction to $164.774 billion marked a sharp downturn, reflecting global energy price volatility and pandemic impacts. Recovery accelerated from 2021 onward, with GDP climbing $123.239 billion over five years through 2025. The slight 2026 decline suggests a plateau rather than continued expansion, signaling potential headwinds ahead or economic stabilization at current levels as Algeria navigates commodity price fluctuations and structural reforms.
