The 2026 finance bill (PLF) will be presented this Sunday, August 9, by the Minister of Finance before the deputies of the National People’s Assembly (APN), after a series of hearings with several government representatives and by the Finance and Budget Committee of the Lower House of Parliament.
The state budget for the year 2026 will be debated by the elected representatives of the APN from today, after the presentation, by the government representative, of the text of the law. The interventions of the deputies will be preceded by the presentation of the preliminary report of the competent Commission, indicated the schedule established by the Office of the APN.
The general debate will continue for two days (Monday and Tuesday), and will be punctuated, during the afternoon session of the second day, by interventions from the presidents of the parliamentary groups, as well as the response from the government representative, it was specified, noting that the vote is scheduled for Tuesday, November 18. A session devoted to oral questions is scheduled for Thursday, November 20.
It is a legal text developed in an international and national context, as indicated in the introduction to the bill, which the APN deputies will have to debate. A text of law which was prepared in a spirit of preserving the social character of the State, with maintaining consumer prices for certain products and above all the non-imposition of new taxes. It is also characterized by support for investment dynamics.
In addition to an international environment, marked by increasing uncertainty, impacted in particular by geopolitical tensions, increased volatility of financial markets and the resurgence of trade conflicts, it is on the national text on which this PLF is established that we must focus.
The 2026 PLF highlights growing economic activity marked mainly by the performance of non-hydrocarbon sectors, such as agriculture and fishing, industry and services, at a time when the hydrocarbon sector is experiencing a 2.8% recession. The PLF 2026 stays the course by counting on an increasing growth rate of the national economy for next year. This rate should reach 4.1% before rising to 4.4% in 2027 then to 4.5% in 2028.
The PLF 2026 which mentioned the closing forecasts for the year 2025, which will be characterized mainly by economic growth revised downwards by 0.1 percentage point, where it should reach 4.4% against 4.5% forecast and an overall Treasury deficit which should improve, despite the drop in tax revenues, presented the macroeconomic and budgetary framework for 2026-2028, taking into account the national context and the international economic situation. A framework which is based, among other things, on a fiscal reference price per barrel of crude oil set at $60 and a market price per barrel at $70.
Regarding budgetary revenues and expenditures, the Minister of Finance, Abdelkrim Bouzred, indicated, during the presentation of the bill before the finance and budget committee of the APN, that the bill provides for budgetary expenditures of the order of 17,636.7 billion dinars in 2026 and revenues estimated at 8,009 billion dinars.
The minister also indicated that the national economy has recorded a rate of development higher than the world average in recent years.
These results are explained, according to the minister, by the new structure of the Algerian economy in recent years and the good performance recorded, especially since it is expected that the different sectors will experience increasing productivity which will have a positive impact on the sectors of industry, agriculture, services and construction.
