The Algerian dinar is in freefall against the euro and dollar on parallel markets, with analysts predicting further collapse. The crisis reflects deep structural problems, including over-reliance on hydrocarbon exports, a growing trade deficit, and failed economic policies, despite government claims of success.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Your Algerian revenue is now worthless on paper. Any contract priced in dinar must be immediately re-negotiated for payment in hard currency, using the parallel market rate as your baseline.
