What it is. GDP per capita divides the value of everything produced in Algeria in a year by the number of people living there, with the total measured in current US dollars. Because it is converted at market exchange rates, a weaker dinar or a swing in oil and gas prices moves the figure even when output at home barely changes. It gives an average and says nothing about how income is shared between households, or about unpaid work and the informal economy.
Higher is better. A higher figure means more output per person, which usually allows higher incomes, more tax revenue and more room for public services. Algeria's latest figure is $6,051 for 2025, up from $5,753 a year earlier, a rise of $298 or 5.2%. That is the highest point since 2016, the start of this window. The low came in 2020, at $3,744, so output per person has risen well above its trough since then.
Why it matters. At $6,051 a head, the average Algerian is producing considerably more in dollar terms than in 2020, which gives the state more room to fund subsidies, wages and imports. Because hydrocarbons weigh heavily in Algeria's output, the level depends on energy prices, so households and the budget feel any fall in them quickly. Imported goods are priced in dollars, so a higher dollar figure also helps firms and families that buy from abroad.
