This is a far cry from its all-time peak of 2.71 in 1974, during a period of high economic growth and investment in the country's natural resources. In contrast, the all-time trough of -0.29 in 2015 highlighted the challenges faced by the Algerian economy. Compared to its peer countries, Algeria's FDI inflows are slightly lower than Nigeria's 0.32, but higher than Sudan's 0.28. As the global economic landscape continues to evolve, Algeria's FDI inflows are likely to remain stagnant unless the country implements policies to improve its business environment and attract more foreign investment, which would be necessary to change the current trajectory of its FDI inflows.
