As part of efforts to promote and present the new mechanisms adopted within the framework of activating its One-Stop Shops, the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency organized, on Monday, May 11, 2026, an Information Day on enhancing the effectiveness of the One-Stop Shop, under the slogan: “The One-Stop Shop: From Concept to Implementation.”

 The opening ceremony of this Information Day was presided over by the Prime Minister, M. Sifi GHRIEB, in the presence of several members of the Government, representatives of the administrations operating within the One-Stop Shop, members of the High National Commission for Appeals related to Investment (HCNRLI), officials from public institutions, financial institutions, as well as representatives of employers’ organizations and professional associations.

 This Information Day aims to present the new mechanisms adopted within the framework of activating the One-Stop Shop, particularly with regard to coordinating the work of the administrations represented within it, introducing the new composition of their representatives, and clarifying their role in handling investment files and issuing the authorizations and documents required for the implementation of investment projects, following the issuance of the executive decrees relating to the reorganization of the Agency and the strengthening of the functioning of the One-Stop Shops.

 In his address on the occasion, the Director General of the Agency, Mr. Omar REKKACHE, stated that the activation of the One-Stop Shop, along with granting full authority to the representatives of the administrations to issue authorizations in one single location, constitutes a concrete translation of the strong political will aimed at establishing a secure and attractive investment climate that strengthens the confidence of economic operators and gives productive enterprises the position they deserve as a key driver of growth, wealth creation, and job generation.

 Mr. REKKACHE added that this step represents an important milestone in fulfilling the major commitments undertaken by the President of the Republic and will constitute a landmark in the process of the country’s fundamental economic reforms.

 He also reaffirmed the commitment of the Agency and its executives to continue working and rise to the challenge, in coordination with the various actors of the investment ecosystem and in consultation with partners from employers’ organizations, in order to implement the new provisions, which represent a major step toward eliminating bureaucracy and administrative complexities.

He further stressed that the Agency will spare no effort to make the One-Stop Shop the investor’s main point of contact and the space where all procedures related to the investment act are completed, within a framework of transparency, efficiency, and equal opportunities, thereby ensuring equal treatment for all investors without discrimination and giving priority to projects that are most aligned with the Government’s development priorities.

 In this context, he pointed to the existence of an ambitious program, under the guidance of the Prime Minister, President of the National Investment Council, aimed at improving the quality of services provided to investors, addressing their concerns, accompanying them, and ensuring field monitoring of the actual implementation of their projects.

He also highlighted the action plan aimed at generalizing digitalization across all procedures related to the investment act in order to establish a Digital One-Stop Shop, under the supervision of the High Commission for Digitalization, thereby ensuring a clear, fast, and secure procedural pathway for investors.

In conclusion, Mr. REKKACHE called for strengthening collective action and joint coordination among all stakeholders in order to consolidate an attractive investment climate conducive to initiative and investment, emphasizing that the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency will remain an active and supportive partner for all initiatives and efforts aimed at earning the trust of investors, whether national or foreign, in a manner that contributes to advancing economic development and enhancing the competitiveness of the national economy.
