The Economic Sectors In Algeria According To Structural Transformation Indicators

Abstract

This article aims to try to identify the extent to which Algeria has achieved degrees of transformation in the economic sectors by analyzing the indicators of structural transformation during the period 2000-2020, relying on the descriptive analysis approach to extract the results of the indicators indicating this, Such as the index of economic complexity and agricultural orientation, as we discussed in this study other indicators such as the productive capacity in each economic sector, relying on data and statistics from official national and international bodies to extract these indicators, such as the World Bank, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and the National Statistics Office. Among the most important results of this article is the weakness of some indicators such as the economic complexity index, which recorded a decline during the period studied, and the agricultural orientation index. The rest of the indicators recorded weak growth and decline in some periods, indicating that the advanced economic performance of the productive capacity index was weak during the period studied. From this, we concluded that Algeria did not achieve the programs outlined for the planned structural transformation. Accordingly, the study recommended reconsidering the programs outlined for economic development in order to raise the rate of economic growth and full employment and raise the competitive advantage of the productive sectors.
