Algiers, Algeria– Friday, July 18, 2025 | In a highly anticipated media engagement aired Friday evening at 21:30 on national television and radio, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune participated in his regular presidential broadcast — a political fixture that has evolved into a key national platform for articulating the government’s vision and addressing pressing concerns.

Appearing before three journalists from the national press, President Tebboune exhibited his characteristic forthrightness, tackling critical domestic and international issues with unfiltered transparency. The interview, emblematic of his direct approach to governance, offered Algerians clear insights into the nation’s trajectory and reaffirmed the administration’s strategic intent.

Dispelling speculation on public finances, President Tebboune categorically denied the implementation of austerity policies, declaring, “The State has not imposed any form of austerity whatsoever.” This assertion came as he reaffirmed the government’s steadfastness in pursuing economic reforms without compromising social stability.

Central to the President’s address was the vigorous campaign against the shadow economy. He emphasized the state’s determination to eliminate informal financial circuits that undermine national development. The fight against the parallel economy, Tebboune noted, remains a cornerstone of Algeria’s economic recalibration.

On the water crisis, the President offered unequivocal reassurance: “No Algerian will suffer from thirst.” This pledge underscores a coordinated national effort to manage water resources amid climate challenges, and reflects a prioritization of essential public services.

Turning to agriculture, President Tebboune hailed a landmark achievement: agricultural production has reached a record valuation of $38 billion in 2025. This milestone, he underlined, not only reinforces food security but also validates the government’s strategic investment in the sector as a pillar of non-hydrocarbon diversification.

The President also touched on possible government adjustments, asserting that executive reshuffles or reforms will be enacted strictly “based on necessity.” This pragmatic approach, he said, reflects the adaptive governance model he has championed since taking office.

On the international front, President Tebboune reaffirmed Algeria’s deep-rooted adherence to the doctrine of non-alignment, a historical and principled stance that continues to shape its foreign policy. “These principles run in our veins,” he declared, adding that Algeria maintains balanced and constructive relations with global powers such as the United States, Russia, and China — an equilibrium rooted in sovereignty, diplomacy, and mutual respect.

President Tebboune’s media appearance provided not only answers to immediate public questions but also a broader articulation of Algeria’s path forward — one that blends realism with ambition, and continuity with reform.
