Minerals and Important Products
Algeria joined OPEC in 1969. Oil and gas remain the backbone of its economy. The country produces roughly 1.1 million barrels of crude oil per day. It is also a major natural gas producer and exporter to Europe.
Hydrocarbons contribute about:
-
60% of government revenue
-
30% of GDP
-
87.7% of export earnings
Algeria ranks as the sixth-largest gas exporter in the world. It holds the tenth-largest natural gas reserves globally. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Algeria had about 4.5 trillion cubic meters of proven gas reserves in 2005. It ranks 16th worldwide in oil reserves.
Finance & Economics
Algeria’s currency is the Algerian dinar (DZD). The state still dominates much of the economy due to its post-independence socialist model.
The country holds about $173 billion in foreign currency reserves. It also maintains a large hydrocarbon stabilization fund. External debt remains very low at around 2% of GDP.
However, the economy remains highly dependent on hydrocarbons. Prolonged low oil and gas prices could increase pressure on the national budget.
