window for exporters and generalize digital support tools. This was announced by the Minister of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, Kamel Rezig, who presented the main measures undertaken to strengthen the competitiveness of the national product, reduce logistics costs, and expand the base of Algerian exporters on international markets.
During his address to the National People’s Assembly (APN) Commission on Economic Affairs, Development, Industry, Commerce, and Planning, Mr. Rezig revealed that his department is preparing to launch the single window for exporters, accompanied by an appointment booking platform for economic operators, aimed at facilitating the examination of their concerns, simplifying procedures, enhancing transparency, and accelerating file processing.
This initiative fits into an overall approach to digitize the export support process, marked by the relaunch of several digital platforms, notably the one dedicated to tracking agreements concluded at international fairs, as well as the platform for monitoring contracts signed under the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF), recently organized in Algeria. This also includes the digital platform for managing products manufactured mainly from ferrous and non-ferrous waste.
The minister outlined the efforts undertaken by his department within the framework of the country’s new economic orientation, based on diversifying the national economy, promoting non-hydrocarbon exports, and strengthening the competitiveness of the national product on foreign markets.
In this context, a restructuring of the foreign trade system is underway through a series of structural decisions aimed at improving governance and efficiency. Regarding exporter support, the ministry has established a multidimensional system, particularly based on liberalizing export activity and simplifying its conditions. Producers and service providers can now export without the obligation to register in the specific export trade registry, a measure that has broadened the base of operators engaged in the export dynamic.
In this regard, the number of exporters recorded during the first ten months of 2025 reached approximately 1,800 exporters, including 788 to the African continent, 961 to European countries, and 430 companies to Asian markets, with some operators conducting export operations to more than one continent, according to the same official.
Mr. Rezig also highlighted the central role of the Special Fund for Export Promotion (FSPE), considered one of the main support mechanisms, as it reimburses a significant portion of international transport costs. To ensure processing of all submitted files, the ministry’s services have proposed several measures in the context of the 2026 finance law, aimed at diversifying the fund’s funding sources.
Among the approved measures are increasing the contribution from domestic consumption tax revenue to 10% instead of 5%, allocating 500 DA from revenues related to issuing the export certificate of origin, as well as covering exporters’ participation fees at foreign fairs and exhibitions.
