Silver Market in Algeria
Algeria is the largest country in Africa by area, with a significant cultural tradition of silver jewelry particularly among Kabyle and other Berber communities. The Bank of Algeria holds the continent's largest silver reserves, with over 170 tonnes, reflecting the government's longstanding preference for silver in its sovereign wealth management. Algeria has aspirations to develop domestic silver mining to complement its hydrocarbon-dominated economy.
Why do people in Algeria invest in silver?
Algerians traditionally invest heavily in physical silver jewelry as a primary savings vehicle, especially for weddings and family celebrations. The informal economy is large, and silver 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 silver as portfolio diversification.
