What it is. Real GDP growth measures how much the value of everything produced in Algeria changed over a year, after removing price rises by valuing output at constant prices. The figures come from World Bank national accounts, which follow a common method that allows comparison across countries and years. The measure captures the size of the economy. It leaves out how income is shared and any damage to natural resources.
Higher is better. Higher is better because faster growth means more goods and services are being produced, which supports employment and incomes. Growth in 2025 was 3.8% y/y, up from 3.7% y/y a year earlier, a rise of 0.12 percentage points. Since 2016 the range runs from a low of −5% y/y in 2020 to a high of 4.1% y/y in 2023. The latest figure sits close to the top of that range, a little below the 2023 peak.
Why it matters. Growth of 3.8% y/y in 2025 means Algeria's economy is expanding steadily after the contraction of 2020. Households have more room for new jobs and rising incomes, and firms face growing demand. The state collects revenue from a larger economy. The 2023 high of 4.1% y/y is the mark to check against next year's figure.
