      Economy Algeria

      Economy - overview:

       The hydrocarbons sector is the backbone of the economy, accounting

       for roughly 60% of budget revenues, 30% of GDP, and over 95% of

       export earnings. Algeria has the seventh-largest reserves of natural

       gas in the world and is the second-largest gas exporter; it ranks

       14th in oil reserves. Economic policy reforms supported by the IMF

       and debt rescheduling from the Paris Club in the past decade have

       helped improve Algeria's financial and macroeconomic indicators.

       Because of sustained high oil prices in the past three years,

       Algeria's finances have further benefited from substantial trade

       surpluses and record foreign exchange reserves. Real GDP has risen

       due to higher oil output and increased government spending. The

       government's continued efforts to diversify the economy by

       attracting foreign and domestic investment outside the energy

       sector, however, has had little success in reducing high

       unemployment and improving living standards. Structural reform

       within the economy moves ahead slowly.
