Algeria’s Tebboune Expects 2026 Growth to Beat IMF Forecast

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said his country’s economic growth in 2026 would exceed the International Monetary Fund’s expectations.

Tebboune also projected that Algeria’s gross domestic product would reach $400 billion, setting out an optimistic outlook for the economy.

His remarks linked that outlook to stronger revenues outside the hydrocarbon sector, highlighting the role of non-oil and gas activities in supporting the economy.
