After growing 3.8% year on year in Q1, the economy is projected to have gradually lost steam through Q3. That said, available data has been upbeat, posing upside risks to the projection. Oil output shrank less than in Q1 in Q2 and still less in Q3. In addition, natural gas production rebounded in Q2 from Q1, before shrinking in July. Moreover, non-hydrocarbon industrial production rose at the sharpest pace in three quarters in Q2. Adding to this, inflation was below Q1’s level in Q2, before picking up in July–August, offering household finances some respite and therefore boding reasonably well for private spending in Q2. In the fiscal arena, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune approved the 2025–2027 budget in October. Spending is to rise 9.9% in 2025 and 6.9% in 2026, before dipping by 3.1% in 2027. As a result, the fiscal deficit is set to remain wide.
