In economic measures, Algearia is 14th in oil reserves and 8th in natural gas reserves in the world.
Algeria is in a great breakthrough in construction business particularly with housing and infrastructure investments. Housing construction is actively continuing with the participation of Turkish companies to eliminate housing deficit which is estimated to be two million. These large projects are conducted by foreign companies themselves or in partnership with Algerian companies as private or government construction companies are not sufficient in technology, capacity, experience and qualified staff.
It will be beneficial to receive information about the conditions required and local companies from Turkish Commercial Attache in Algeria before having any business relations with Algerian companies.
