Algeria's real effective exchange rate (REER) has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 47 years, with the index ranging from a peak of 449.82 in 1985 to a trough of 86.80 in 2021. This represents a decline of approximately 80.8% from its peak, indicating a substantial devaluation of the Algerian dinar relative to its trading partners. As of 2026, Algeria's REER stands at 111.36, positioning the country at #45 globally. Compared to peer countries, Algeria's REER is relatively close to that of the United Kingdom, which is at 110.63. The decline in REER since 1985 has likely influenced Algeria's trade competitiveness and economic growth. A continuation of this trend may be driven by factors such as changes in global commodity prices, shifts in international trade policies, or Algeria's economic reform efforts, all of which could impact the country's economic trajectory and competitiveness in the future.
