The Minister of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, Kamel Rezig, chaired a coordination meeting this Tuesday devoted to strengthening synergy among the various sectors involved in export operations, as stated in a ministry statement.
The meeting took stock of preparations for the platform that will bring together all products already exported and those eligible for export. The platform is designed to “provide an accurate, up‑to‑date information base capable of supporting the promotion of the national supply on foreign markets and of optimizing its value,” the ministry communiqué notes—not only to boost Algeria’s export performance, but also to help policymakers gain a broader view of the markets to be targeted according to the products manufactured.
From this, the different sectors will be able to “identify their needs in goods and services” fit for export, with the aim of moving toward démarches carried out “within a logic of better economic coordination” among the various stakeholders from multiple ministries, the statement stressed. The meeting, held at the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, brought together general secretaries and representatives from several other ministries, alongside senior officials from the economic sector. Earlier steps taken in setting up the platform have helped “highlight the importance of creating a comprehensive national digital database listing all products and services manufactured in Algeria,” the ministry emphasized, adding that it is banking on this tool to sustain growth in non‑hydrocarbon exports.
According to the same source, Rezig praised the existing level of coordination among ministerial sectors in his remarks, while calling for its further strengthening and intensification. He insisted on the need to ensure “convergence of government efforts in order to achieve the objectives set in the area of foreign‑trade development.”
This initiative is part of ongoing moves to structure and revitalize non‑hydrocarbon exports, by providing economic operators with modern and effective tools to better position Algerian products internationally. That is why, last month, the Ministry of Foreign Trade invited economic operators carrying out import operations of equipment and raw materials essential for their production activities to submit their prospective import programs for the first half of 2026 via the dedicated digital platform. The prospective program serves as an instrument for monitoring and controlling import operations, allowing the ministry to anticipate foreign‑exchange needs and to optimize the management of foreign trade.
