Algeria's government effectiveness has seen fluctuation over the 26 years of available data, with the latest value standing at -0.65 in 2025, ranking 149th globally. This is a notable improvement from its trough of -1.09 in 1996, but still falls short of its peak of -0.34 achieved in 2014. In comparison to its peers, Algeria's score is closely aligned with that of Peru at -0.66 and slightly lags behind Vanuatu at -0.61. The fact that Algeria's government effectiveness has not surpassed its 2014 peak suggests that there are lingering challenges to be addressed. As the country continues to navigate its development path, a sustained improvement in government effectiveness would likely require targeted reforms and investments in institutional capacity, which could potentially alter the trajectory of this trend in the coming years.
