Algeria

Algeria is tentatively trying to open its long-sclerotic economy to foreign investment in a bid to both bolster stalling oil and gas output and to kickstart a renewables sector.

Algeria's economy remains overwhelmingly reliant on oil and gas export revenues despite halting attempts at diversification. With domestic consumption on the rise, export volumes and with them revenues are under threat.
