Algeria has secured its position as one of Africa’s most attractive destinations for international investors, ranking among the continent’s top three economies in the 2025 Global Attractiveness Index published by the Italian research firm The European House – Ambrosetti.
The report, which evaluated 146 economies representing 94% of the world’s population and 98% of global GDP, placed Algeria 78th globally with a score of 30.0 points. This marks a notable improvement from 2024, when the country ranked 79th with 27.6 points.
Regionally, Algeria has widened the gap with its Maghreb neighbours. Morocco was ranked 85th with 27.5 points, trailing by 2.5 points, while Tunisia fell further behind at 101st with 23.0 points.
The results strengthen Algeria’s lead as the Maghreb’s most attractive economic power.
According to the report, “only Algeria, Mauritius, and Egypt are in the ‘Medium Attractiveness’ category (30 to 60 points), grouping together 63 countries this year, compared to 4 countries with high attractiveness (80 to 100), 12 countries with good attractiveness (60 to 80), and 67 countries with low attractiveness (0 to 30).”
The Global Attractiveness Index measures performance across four pillars: Openness, Innovation, Efficiency, and Endowment, alongside three additional factors—Dynamics, Sustainability, and Future Orientation.
For Algeria, the key driver of progress has been “the dynamism of the national economy,” the report highlights. The country ranks an impressive 19th worldwide for its Dynamics index, reflecting its ability to adapt swiftly to global economic shifts. The recognition also underscores the government’s ongoing diversification strategy under President Abdelmadjid Tebboune.
This latest ranking consolidates Algeria’s status as a rising economic power in Africa and reaffirms its growing influence on the international investment stage.
