Algerian parliament examines 2027 finance bill
National Assembly members reviewed the draft budget, proposing changes for citizens abroad.
Algeria's National People's Assembly (APN) reconvened on Monday, November 2, to review the 2027 finance bill. Finance Minister Mohamed Lamine Lebbou presented the budget's main points, projecting state revenues to exceed 9,251.1 billion dinars, a 7.4% increase from 2026. Total expenditures are planned at 17,251.6 billion dinars in commitments and 17,882.6 billion dinars in payments, with a projected growth rate of 4.2%.
The APN's Finance Commission has put forward 26 amendments to the 2027 finance bill. One proposed amendment specifically addresses a special arrangement for Algerians living abroad. The commission's rapporteur highlighted this amendment in their preliminary report. The bill also allocates 4,356.64 billion dinars in commitments and 4,415.35 billion dinars in payments for transfer expenses, such as subsidies.
The APN's work on the finance bill continues as it examines the proposed amendments. The budget aims to manage state finances for the upcoming year, with specific attention given to potential changes affecting citizens residing outside Algeria.
