This is substantially lower than its all-time peak of 106.35 in 1994, during a period of economic turmoil. In contrast, the country achieved a remarkable low of 6.48 in 2013, underscoring its capacity for fiscal discipline. Currently, Algeria's debt level is closely aligned with that of peer countries such as Armenia, which has a debt to GDP ratio of 53.44, and slightly below that of Côte d'Ivoire at 55.60. As the global economic landscape continues to evolve, Algeria's ability to maintain a stable debt trajectory will depend on its capacity to manage fiscal pressures and implement effective economic policies, which would be crucial in altering the current trend.
