Mr. REKKACHE announces the imminent operationalization of the new One-stop shop
The Director General of the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency (AAPI), Mr. Omar REKKACHE, announced on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, that the Agency’s One-stop shop will soon be operational in its new form. This marks a new qualitative step aimed at simplifying investment procedures and improving the business climate in Algeria.
Speaking during a panel discussion on the investment climate in Algeria, held as part of the “CEO Survey Algeria 2026,” the results of which were presented for the second time in Algeria, Mr. REKKACHE explained that the legal texts governing these one-stop shops have been signed by the Government and will be published soon in the Official Gazette.
He affirmed that this new framework will establish the one-stop shop as the sole effective interlocutor for investors, streamlining administrative procedures and facilitating project implementation, considering this measure a major step toward strengthening the business climate.
He also highlighted ongoing efforts to generalize digitalization throughout the investment process, in coordination with the High Commission for Digitalization, in preparation for the launch of a digital one-stop shop, ensuring greater transparency, speed, and efficiency in the processing of investors’ applications.
In the same context, Mr. REKKACHE noted the progress achieved in the business climate in recent years, emphasizing that the level of confidence reflected in the results of the “CEO Survey Algeria 2026” is a strong indicator of the effectiveness of the economic reforms undertaken by Algeria, particularly through the new legal framework, adopted government policies, and a clear economic vision, as confirmed by the growing momentum in investment projects.
He added that the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency is working to translate investment intentions into concrete projects on the ground, while directing investments toward wealth-creating sectors, job-generating activities, and import-substitution initiatives, as well as supporting projects that ensure technology transfer and the development of national capacities.
Regarding the monitoring of registered projects, Mr. REKKACHE stated that the Agency continues to provide on-the-ground accompaniment to investors, noting that 53% of registered projects are currently in the implementation phase, while more than 1,400 projects have already entered the production phase since the entry into force of the new investment law.
On another level, Mr. REKKACHE emphasized the importance the Agency places on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and micro-enterprises, particularly as they represent the majority of registered projects and contribute effectively to balanced regional economic development.
The Agency is also working to strengthen the integration of these enterprises into the national economic fabric by linking them to major and structured projects through subcontracting agreements, thereby generating local added value and expanding opportunities for growth and employment.
