Algeria Market Authority adopts market development roadmap and creates permanent advisory and working groups

The Algeria Market Authority has published the outcomes of a market meeting it organized with the Algiers Stock Exchange and Algeria Clearing, setting out a package of operational measures to develop Algeria’s financial market. The measures focus on strengthening stock market intermediation, improving coordination among market participants and expanding the use of capital markets to finance the economy. The meeting examined market challenges, development prospects and the role of stock market intermediaries (IOB), alongside the financing opportunities available to companies through market mechanisms. Agreed actions include an operational roadmap for IOBs with intermediary-specific action plans, and a permanent advisory committee at the Algeria Market Authority to monitor implementation, assess results and make recommendations. The package also includes a working group bringing together IOBs, promoters, bank credit departments and private equity firms to identify companies that do not qualify for bank credit but may be suitable for alternative financing through the financial market. A 2026 field program will be developed to increase direct engagement with companies, promote stock market awareness and support businesses interested in a possible listing process.
