Algeria is facing severe criticism from the European Union after it decided to reduce its imports of European cars and agricultural products.

The European Union considers this step a threat to its economic interests, which prompted it to increase pressure on Algeria, which seeks to strengthen its trade relations with China, Turkey and other countries.

The European Union is considered Algeria’s first trading partner, as their trade exchanges represent 51% of Algeria’s total trade. However, China ranks first among individual countries in trade partnership with Algeria.

European exports to Algeria have witnessed a significant decline over the past decade. While the value of European exports to Algeria amounted to $22.3 billion (20 billion euros) in 2015, they fell to $14.9 billion (13.9 billion euros) in 2023, and the decline was particularly concentrated in the agricultural and automotive sectors.
