Algeria climbs three places in the ranking of the best investment destinations in Africa

Algeria ranks seventh in the 2025/2026 ranking of the most attractive African countries for investment, according to the report “Where to Invest in Africa 2025/26” published on October 27 by the South African holding company Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) in collaboration with the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS). This represents a three-point rise compared to the previous edition.

The report, which covers 31 countries representing 90% of Africa's GDP, 83% of the continent's population, and 61% of its land area, is based on twenty indicators. These include GDP, GDP per capita, population size, urbanization rate, innovation, political and economic stability, human development, corruption, inflation, and income inequality. These criteria are grouped into four categories: economical performance, market accessibility, stability and investment climate, and social and human development.

At the top of the rankings, Seychelles and Mauritius maintain their positions, followed by Egypt, South Africa, Morocco, and Ghana. Algeria ranks seventh, ahead of Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania, and Kenya, which rounds out the top 10.

According to the authors of the report, quoted by the Ecofin agency, "elections in several countries, episodes of unrest and political uncertainty, as well as global fragmentation and reorientation have all had measurable macroeconomic effects." They also point out that "changes in the political environment and declining foreign aid, combined with the reorientation of global capital flows, are reshaping the way African economies interact with the world."

The document highlights that recent geopolitical developments and political changes have influenced the ranking of nearly two-thirds of the countries studied. While 11 countries maintain their position, 13 have improved, and 7 have declined.

Côte d'Ivoire has made the most progress, rising from 16th to 8th place thanks to sustained growth and its economic diversification. Zambia, Algeria, and Tanzania have also improved their positions.

Nigeria recorded the sharpest decline, falling nine places to 18th. According to the report, this decline is linked to the economic reforms undertaken by President Bola Tinubu, which have caused high inflation and economic hardship. Other countries, such as Senegal, Tunisia, and Mozambique, have also fallen several places.
