Algeria
According to the IMF, Algeria has succeeded in restoring financial and monetary stability and has made progress in modernizing its economy. However, major challenges remain, in particular to quicken significantly the pace of sustainable growth. This, in turn, will raise living standards and will reduce unemployment.

The Economic Recovery Program, which was prepared with assistance from the IMF, has contributed temporarily to growth and sustained expansion of economy. This situation allows to generate employment, reduce poverty and increase general standards of living. Algeria's current strong fiscal and monetary position offers a window of opportunity to pursue necessary reforms. At the core of the needed reforms is the revitalization of the enterprise sector, a better regulatory environment, and restructuring and privatizing viable public enterprises. A complementary area of reforms lies in the banking sector.
A modern financial system for financing the development of productive investment is very important for the country. Therefore, Algeria invited the IMF to undertake a Financial Sector Assessment Program. This assessment will form the basis for modernizing the banking sector further. Only then it will play an effective role in the economy, providing increased lending to small and medium-size enterprises.
