En réalité la privatisation s’inscrit comme option politique et économique fortement influencée par des facteurs exogènes (institutions internationales). Le FMI et la banque mondiale qui ont fait de la privatisation l’une de leurs conditionnalités ; pour atteindre la convergence vers la modernisation des économies et l’ouverture sur l'économie mondiale. En effet, la Banque mondiale et du FMI ont assuré que la privatisation a été largement considérée comme la seule manière d’améliorer la performance des entreprises publiques. Ce point de vue est mis en œuvre dans les économies en développement ou en transition. Aujourd’hui la privatisation est une moyenne universellement utilisé par les Etats pour céder aux opérateurs privés, la propriété et la gestion de leurs entreprises publiques.

  • Local Industrial Development in Algeria
    Journal of Business and Retail Management Research (JBRMR) Vol. 10 Issue 3 July 2016 Local industrial development in Algeria Herizi Ratiba Belkacem Djamila ENSSEA, Algeria Key words Industry, industrial strategy, regional development, clusters, Abstract In Algeria, regional development was first realized, in the framework of a planned economy in the 1970s, by local development programs or plans f or local equipment focused on creating jobs, industry promotion, and development of rural and Saharan regions but without any decision - making autonomy granted to local authorities. The industry, which is the object of our study, then benefited from economi c programs of the local industry (PIL). These were to be the basis for creating a second decentralized state industrial sector. The aim of the PIL was to offset the negative effects of state industrialization process in order to use local resources, ensure the satisfaction of local needs and to decentralize land use policy. Thus, the industrial areas have been created: nearly 500 business zones and 70 industrial zones spread over a total area of 22,000 hectares. These were, however, spaces of corporate storage. Following the liberalization of the economy since the 1990s, the lack of competitiveness of industrial enterprises has become a major problem, and then an industrial strategy has been dev eloped since 2007. One of the principal objectives of this latter was to create integrated industrial development zones (ZIDI) or clusters. According to the national planning strategy, these ZIDI will be created in areas where there are concentration of bu sinesses, infrastructure availability, proximity to university, research institutions and quality of services.

The North African country's top-line defence investment increased 22% between 2008 and 2012. Relative stability following the end of civil conflict in 2002 and strong global energy demand during the 2000s has put oil and gas-rich Algeria in a stronger position to meet defence spending objectives. Algiers commenced a rearmament programme in 2006 to recapitalise inventories of largely Cold War-era materiel. Multibillion-dollar acquisitions of naval, land and air systems followed. Page 2 of 23 Jane’s Recapitalisation efforts were largely complete (or approaching completion) as of early 2014, although large-scale opportunities may remain in areas ranging from unmanned aerial systems to naval auxiliary vessels. Russia - Algeria's historic military trade partner - was the principal beneficiary of Algiers' military investment drive. Fully two thirds of equipment ordered (by value) between 2000 and 2011 was of Russian origin. Moscow appeared to have cemented its position to the detriment of competitors through the broad USD7.5 billion equipment package of 2006, which ranged from fighter jets to missile defence systems. However, Algeria subsequently broadened relations and entered into procurement accords with Chinese, European, African and North American suppliers in the years that followed.
