Algeria had a good enough 2025. No fireworks. Nothing exceptional. But nothing terrible either. Algeria is pretty impervious to international developments – sure, it’s impacted by them on the margins, but Algeria’s whole decoupled approach does insulate it from major shocks. It suffered some diplomatic setbacks. It had some domestic victories. But there was nothing that constituted a structural shift. There was no real delta. Algeria kept on Algeria-ing. As a consequence, Algeria is heading into 2026 in a stable state. And it’s likely that Algeria will have another unremarkable year, which in a world of wild swings between so-called successes and cataclysms, unremarkable is in itself remarkable.
