The published reads
Where Algeria sits, on two reads.
Atlas No. 5 quadrant
Clears both bars. The core three are sized on structure and built to target weight through 2026; the other ten are timing-led and held in instruments that can leave, inside NDF tenor.
Minerals Signal No. 1 · 14 September 2026
A real endowment moving toward or through early industrial scale. Not one of the ten deep dives, so the continental-screen tier is its Minerals Signal read.
Energy Signal No. 1 · 7 September 2026
Suitability 50, timing 49, against sixteen-market medians of 48.2 and 55.8.
Reads run 0 to 100, higher is better, and split at each report’s published medians. They are structured rankings built from cited series and dated events, not validated predictive models, and none of them is ISI or METI, which remain in independent validation.

World Bank figures are the most recent observation in the World Development Indicators, shown with their year; IMF figures are from the World Economic Outlook (April 2026) and are the IMF’s estimates and projections, not Kilwa’s. Both are reproduced with attribution (World Bank data under CC BY 4.0). Rows without a recent observation say so rather than disappearing, so the ten rows read the same on every market page.

Quadrant · Attractive structure, poor timingsuitability 50 · timing 49
Structure above, timing below. Prepare, do not commit: bid-round data rooms, Zambian open-access counterparties, Ugandan services. First oil, bid-round awards and the Zambian 2027 tariff decide entry.

- Kilwa Atlas No. 3 · 4 September 2026Kilwa Atlas No. 3: Africa FX, Funding and Capital Mobility
Exit regime · Rationing regimes
A euro label or a full vault does not move money. Model BEAC's repatriation ramp toward 70% into cash-flow forecasts now and secure validation for offshore accounts before the next step; the risk is a queue, not a price.
- Geopolitical Risk No. 5 · 30 July 2026The Permission Layer
Tier · Highscore 69.2
Prohibition or heavy restriction on assets, thin data capacity, and an unpredictable enforcement record. Large addressable markets behind hostile rules.

Tier · Highscore 69
Cover exists on development balance sheets only. TCX capacity, not market depth, sets the ceiling.
Each row reproduces the tier and any score the report prints for Algeria, with that report’s own description of the tier. Reports are listed newest first. The full model, inputs and robustness testing sit in each report.
Questions we are asked
Algeria, in five answers.
- Where does Algeria sit in Kilwa Atlas No. 5?
- As of 4 September 2026, Kilwa Atlas No. 5 reads Algeria at 58.5 on structure and 67.2 on timing, above the 54-market structure median of 48.5 and above the timing median of 55.2, which places it in the "High conviction" quadrant. Both reads are structured rankings built from cited series, not validated predictive models.
- Does Kilwa cover Algeria in its critical minerals research?
- Yes. Minerals Signal No. 1 (14 September 2026) screens all 54 markets and places Algeria in the Forming tier: a real endowment moving toward or through early industrial scale. The tier is a structural characterisation, not a score; the ten numeric deep dives are named in the report.
- How many Kilwa reports score or discuss Algeria?
- 6 published Kilwa reports place Algeria in a named tier or quadrant. Each is listed on this page with its date and linked to the report, which remains the source.
- How large is Algeria's economy, and how fast is it growing?
- The World Bank puts Algeria's GDP at US$ 287.0 billion in 2025 (US$ 6,051 per person, upper middle income). The IMF's World Economic Outlook, April 2026 estimates real growth of 3.8% in 2025 and projects 3.8% in 2026, with inflation at 2.9% and general government gross debt at 59.2% of GDP. Figures are the World Bank's and the IMF's, reproduced with attribution; the projections are the IMF's, not Kilwa's.
- Can Kilwa produce a Algeria-specific view for our mandate?
- Yes. The reads on this page are published for general circulation and are not tailored to any recipient. Kilwa's advisory services take a mandate-specific brief on capital allocation, risk and regulatory intelligence, market entry and sovereign capital, and an engagement is scoped from the services page. Research is analysis, not investment, legal or tax advice.
