President Abdelaziz Bouteflika

Algeria Focus is an executive monthly report written by a team of international experts, with a strong emphasis on the country's domestic concerns, political developments, security issues and the latest news within the oil and gas trade. Algeria Focus offers an unbiased perspective on events in one of the world's most notoriously opaque countries and rigid military dictatorships.

Although President Abdelaziz Bouteflika won his third five-year term in office in the April 2009 presidential election, his failing health has ignited succession battles which herald important ramifications for business partners, as well as for domestic political players. While this is dominating events behind the scenes throughout 2010, the country is also facing escalating political, security, economic and social tensions.

The previously investor-friendly business climate in Algeria has given way to a deliberate strategy of resource re-nationalisation. It is imperative for international companies operating in Algeria to keep up with all the latest developments in order to make well-informed strategic business decisions. With a strong accent on domestic political developments, the financial sector and the energy industry, Algeria Focus provides unparalleled analysis of events within the country.

Algeria Focus is essential reading for governments, international agencies and company executives with a vested business interest in the region. For more information about Algeria Focus, please contact us here.
