Algeria has been showing a stable GDP (gross domestic product) for several years. After the worldwide economic downturn in 2009, the GDP is estimated to reach 3.9% again in 2010.
The
government's economic promotion for the period 2010 - 2014 includes an
investment of approx. 30 billion US$ for infrastructure development
projects. Further infrastructure projects involve construction and
modernization of airports and harbors, reconstruction
of 14,000 km roads and construction of the
TRANSSAHARA highway (Algiers – Lagos). Imports are expected
to rise as major import goods are construction machinery,
building material and services of engineering and consulting.
