Foreign Direct Investment in Algeria: Between Reality and Challenges

This paper aims to shed light on the reality of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Algeria. In order to address and understand various aspects of the subject and reach a correct and accurate answer to the proposed issue, we relied on the descriptive analytical methodology that suits this type of study. The descriptive methodology is evident through our discussion of the theoretical aspect of foreign direct investment, while the analytical methodology appears through our analysis of the reality of foreign direct investment in Algeria. We also relied on the case study methodology, which is reflected in our presentation of Algeria's experience in the field of foreign direct investment. This research paper concluded with a number of results, the most prominent of which is that foreign direct investment in Algeria still registers modest rates, which is attributed to the existence of constraints and challenges that limit the expansion and enhancement of FDI in Algeria.
