Algeria has a relatively strong financial position with a nominal budget surplus at around 12% of the GDP, the foreign debt rate is as low as only 3.6% of the GDP.

Import and Export: Algerian trading partners

The most important trading partner of Algeria by far is the European Union with almost 60% of the countries total trade volume. Of all EU countries, France (16%), Italy (10%), Germany (8%) and Spain (7%) cover the largest trade volume. This is only followed by China (12%), the United States (5%) and Turkey (4%).

The food industry is one of the largest economic sectors with about 120.000 employees within about 17.000 companies. Not including the agricultural sector such as farms.
