STRENGTHS
Algeria ranks 68th in GCI 2019, one position up from last year.

The GCI indicators for the demand pillar show increases in computer and smartphone penetration, mobile broadband subscriptions, and cloud migration services. This is despite Algeria being a relatively low performer in the global sample. It is necessary for Algeria to increase its ICT investment to continue expanding broadband penetration and people’s access to the Internet.

Towards the end of 2018, Mobilis, a subsidiary of Algeria Telecom, successfully tested 5G connections in the town of Oran with the technical support of its partner Huawei. The data rates achieved were 1.18 Gbps. Oran will not be the only 5G town, as the operator is also working with other partners to conduct the same tests in other towns to be ready for global switch to the new technology in 2020.
OPPORTUNITIES
The Algerian government is taking the initiative to accelerate ICT usage and adoption in Algeria for both business and government. The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (ARPT) introduced the E-Algeria 2013 digital initiative in 2013. Its goal is to improve ICT options for business, government, and citizens; provide access to more equipment and networks for consumers; and deliver an agile telecommunications infrastructure to strengthen innovation.
