Algeria Company & Beneficial Ownership Directory
Company register search for 31,119 Algeria companies, plus shareholder, officer and beneficial ownership records sourced directly from official government registries.
Algeria company register data is filed on the Registre du Commerce, held by the Centre National du Registre du Commerce (CNRC), with tiered public access through the sidjilcom.cnrc.dz portal. Yes on paper: a register of beneficial owners was created at CNRC by Executive Decree No. 23-429 of 30 November 2023, but it is not systematically published for public search, and the specific ownership threshold is not confirmed in verifiable form. Algeria's placement on the Financial Action Task Force's grey list in 2023 was partly attributed to gaps in beneficial-ownership transparency.

Analysis
What this data actually tells you about Algeria
Algeria’s economy expanded 4.1% year-on-year in the first half of 2025, with full-year 2025 GDP growth estimated at 3.8% by the IMF, and nominal GDP projected to exceed $317 billion in 2026, up from roughly $285.7 billion in 2025. GDP per capita stood at approximately $4,883 (nominal, 2025), with IMF nominal per-capita projections of roughly $6,628 for 2026. Consumer price inflation, which had surged in 2021-2023, moderated to 2.7% year-on-year by August 2025 and is projected by the IMF at around 2.9% for 2026. The national currency is the Algerian dinar (DZD). Algeria’s economic structure remains dominated by hydrocarbons for exports and fiscal revenue even as non-hydrocarbon GDP, led by construction, manufacturing, and services, has been the primary growth driver: non-oil industry grew 5.5% in Q1 2025 and the broader non-hydrocarbon economy expanded around 5.4% in H1 2025. The IMF and World Bank both flag that 2026-2027 prospects are dampened by global uncertainty and potentially lower hydrocarbon prices, projecting growth moderating to roughly 3.5% in 2026 and 3.3% in 2027.
Algeria’s exports remain overwhelmingly hydrocarbon-driven: mineral fuels (crude oil, refined products, natural gas) totaled roughly $38.4 billion in 2025 exports, down about 19.6% from 2024 on lower prices. Algeria recorded an estimated trade deficit of about $4.52 billion in 2025, a reversal from a $4.48 billion surplus in 2024. Leading export markets in 2025 were Italy, France, Spain, South Korea, and the United States; leading import sources were China, France, Italy, Turkey, and Brazil. Algeria is Europe’s second-largest pipeline natural gas supplier after Norway, and the top gas supplier to Spain and Italy; hydrocarbon export revenue reached nearly $31 billion in the first eight months of 2025, with LNG exports to Europe up more than 12% in the first nine months of the year, as Sonatrach has signed new or extended supply agreements with TotalEnergies and Germany’s VNG Handel & Vertrieb. On investment, UNCTAD’s World Investment Report 2025 recorded Algeria’s inward FDI flows at approximately $1.43 billion in 2024, an 18.3% increase over 2023, with inward FDI stock reaching about $38.3 billion by end-2024, an improvement UNCTAD attributes partly to Algeria’s liberalized 2022 investment law. Regionally, Algeria’s diplomatic posture remains shaped by two long-running disputes: relations with Morocco have been severed since August 2021 over the Western Sahara conflict, with the land border closed since 1994, and in October 2025 the US, under Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, was reported to be mediating toward a settlement with an informal January 31, 2026 target date. Separately, Algeria-France relations entered their most serious crisis since independence during 2024-2025, triggered by France’s July 2024 recognition of Moroccan sovereignty claims over Western Sahara and compounded by the November 2024 arrest and March 2025 five-year sentencing of Franco-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal, mutual expulsions of diplomats, and French visa restrictions in August 2025; Sansal was pardoned and released in November 2025 following German mediation, marking a partial thaw.
Algeria’s overall unemployment rate was 11.63% in 2025, down marginally from 11.66% in 2024, while youth unemployment (ages 15-24) stood at approximately 29.4% in 2025. Algeria’s population exceeds 45 million and is notably youthful, a demographic profile widely cited in housing and consumer-market analysis. On the political front, incumbent President Abdelmadjid Tebboune was re-elected to a second term on September 7, 2024, with the Constitutional Court certifying a final result of 84.3% of the vote, revised down from an initially reported and disputed 94.7% following formal challenges from the two opposition candidates, Abdelali Hassani Cherif of the MSP and Youcef Aouchiche of the FFS; turnout was recorded at 46.1%, up from 39.9% in 2019. On defense, SIPRI’s April 2026 fact sheet recorded Algeria’s 2025 military expenditure at approximately $25.4 billion, an 11% increase over 2024, making Algeria Africa’s largest military spender, accounting for roughly half of all African military spending, and giving Algeria the world’s second-highest share of public spending allocated to defense, about 25% of total government expenditure, after Ukraine — a figure regional analysts link to the sustained rivalry with Morocco.
Algeria company base, broken down
Charts render from live counts. Where coverage is partial, the excluded population is stated on the chart.
Company size, by disclosed headcount
By number of employees on file. Entities with no disclosed headcount are not counted in any band.
Enterprises by size category
Of Algeria’s roughly 1.48 million SMEs recorded at end-2023 (Ministry of Industry, employing a little over 3.4 million people), micro-enterprises made up about 97% and medium-sized firms (50-249 employees) only 0.31% (3,170 firms) — these two figures come from the SME population specifically and do not sum to 100% since small enterprises (10-49 employees) make up most of the remainder; large and public enterprises (e.g., Sonatrach, Sonelgaz) are a distinct, very small category outside the SME population entirely, concentrated in state-owned hydrocarbon, utility, and banking groups.

Who uses Algeria ownership data
The three checks this page's data is most often run for.
KYB onboarding
Verifying a Algeria counterparty means confirming the beneficial owner behind the entity and evidencing where that answer came from, not just pulling the registered name.
AML and sanctions screening
Sanctions exposure often sits above the operating company, in a holding layer registered elsewhere. Screening the local entity alone will not surface it; screening the resolved ownership chain will.
Supplier and credit risk
Filed accounts cover a limited share of the register in most jurisdictions, so group membership is often a better solvency signal than a standalone balance sheet.
