Abstract

The paper examines the current state of non-hydrocarbon exports in Algeria, focusing on the strategic role of the National Agency for the Promotion of Foreign Trade (ALGEX). In recent years, Algeria has implemented numerous legislative and institutional measures to diversify its economy, aiming to reduce its heavy reliance on hydrocarbons as a primary source of revenue. Despite these efforts, however, non-hydrocarbon exports remain minimal, rendering the economy highly susceptible to fluctuations in global oil prices. An analysis of export statistics and trends from 1993 to 2023 reveals a persistent structural imbalance in Algeria's export composition. The findings underscore the challenges institutions such as ALGEX face in significantly expanding exports beyond the oil sector. Key recommendations include establishing a more efficient framework to streamline export procedures and concentrating on sectors with high potential for international competitiveness. The study concludes that Algeria must prioritize institutional coordination by developing a comprehensive national export strategy to achieve sustainable economic diversification.
