Gold Market in Algeria
Algeria is the largest country in Africa by area, with a significant cultural tradition of gold jewelry particularly among Kabyle and other Berber communities. The Bank of Algeria holds the continent's largest gold reserves, with over 170 tonnes, reflecting the government's longstanding preference for gold in its sovereign wealth management. Algeria has aspirations to develop domestic gold mining to complement its hydrocarbon-dominated economy.
Why do people in Algeria buy gold?
Algerians traditionally invest heavily in physical gold jewelry as a primary savings vehicle, especially for weddings and family celebrations. The informal economy is large, and gold provides a way to preserve wealth outside the banking system. With hydrocarbon revenues declining and the dinar subject to managed devaluation, educated Algerians increasingly see gold as portfolio diversification.
