Abstract

This research paper aims to identify the causal relationship between trade openness in the Algerian economy and its impact on growth rates and employment during the period 2000 to 2023. The results of the study indicate that the Algerian economy remains trapped by oil revenues and consequently by global dollar prices. The Algerian economy is still stagnating and has failed to take off, despite attempts, due to the lack of a clear and progressive development policy.
