Algiers, Algeria– Thursday, July 17, 2025 | In a move signaling Algeria’s commitment to revitalizing its industrial base, the Minister of Industry, Sifi Ghrieb, convened a high-level working session with key economic operators from the electronic and home appliance manufacturing sector. The gathering, held at the Ministry’s headquarters, was part of an ambitious roadmap to overhaul the regulatory framework governing the industry through the elaboration of a new, rigorous cahier des charges and sectoral reference guide.

According to an official communiqué, the meeting culminated in the establishment of a dedicated task force entrusted with finalizing the new regulatory document, which is expected to set stringent standards for local manufacturing and component integration. The Minister made it unequivocally clear that the finalization of this document is a matter of urgency, urging all stakeholders to accelerate efforts to complete the work in the shortest timeframe possible.

This initiative forms part of a broader national strategy aimed at constructing a sovereign and resilient industrial ecosystem, capable of responding to the demands of both domestic and international markets. At the heart of this approach lies a three-pronged objective: strengthening local subcontracting networks, curbing reliance on imports, and unlocking the immense export potential of African markets.

Minister Ghrieb stressed the strategic nature of this sector, describing it as a “pillar of Algeria’s industrial independence.” He reiterated his department’s full commitment to supporting economic operators through the creation of an enabling environment—one that fosters innovation, productivity, and market competitiveness. He underscored the importance of aligning Algeria’s production standards with international norms to ensure long-term viability and integration into global value chains.

The operators in attendance welcomed the Minister’s proactive approach, voicing both their concerns and aspirations for a more structured, transparent, and investment-friendly industrial policy. The discussion also touched on the need to modernize production lines, promote research and development, and facilitate access to financing mechanisms tailored to the sector’s specificities.
