Key takeaway for entrepreneurs:
Algeria’s 2025 budget prioritizes cost-sharing in agriculture and energy, with 1.3 billion USD allocated for irrigation and 180 million USD for Algiers Metro extensions. The Cevital sugar plant and MADAR’s Cameroon trade deal signal easing restrictions on agricultural imports and processing. US-Algeria business ties remain centered on STEM partnerships and pharma tariffs averaging 2.8%.
