Location of Algeria

Algeria is a sovereign state in North Africa on the Mediterranean coast.

Algeria is classified as an upper middle income country by the World Bank.[1] Algeria's currency is the dinar (DZD). The economy remains dominated by the state, a legacy of the country's socialist post-independence development model. In recent years, the Algerian government has halted the privatization of state-owned industries and imposed restrictions on imports and foreign involvement in its economy.[2]
