Algiers, Algeria | March 3rd, 2025 — In a reaffirmation of the media’s critical role in advancing Algeria’s development agenda, Minister of Communication Mohamed Meziane underscored the importance of journalism in supporting national economic growth and investment promotion. Speaking on Monday, March 3, 2025, at the launch of a specialized training session for economic journalists, the minister called upon the national press to actively contribute to showcasing investment opportunities and facilitating Algeria’s economic transformation.

 

The training session, organized by the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency in collaboration with the Ministry of Communication, is designed to enhance journalists’ expertise in the country’s new legal and regulatory framework for investment. In his address, Minister Meziane emphasized that “accurate and detailed information is the fundamental currency of the media, particularly when it comes to reporting on development projects.” He urged journalists to act as a persuasive force in educating both local and international investors about the vast opportunities in Algeria’s business environment.

The minister further stressed the indispensable role of specialized journalistic training in equipping reporters with the necessary skills to analyze investment-related regulations and procedures. He highlighted that the ongoing training initiative would enable journalists to grasp the evolving legislative landscape and communicate investment-related updates with greater precision and professionalism.

Minister Meziane emphasized that the press must operate as a key driver of sustainable development by disseminating reliable information with objectivity and professionalism. He reiterated his ministry’s full commitment to supporting media professionals in their mission to inform and engage the public, particularly concerning the extensive reforms and initiatives led by the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency.

From an institutional perspective, the Director-General of the Algerian Investment Promotion Agency, Omar Rekkache, echoed the minister’s sentiments, describing the media as an “indispensable strategic partner in fostering a dynamic business and investment climate.” He pointed out that professional journalism plays a decisive role in shaping economic perceptions and catalyzing transformative changes in Algeria’s investment ecosystem.

Rekkache further underscored that investing in high-caliber economic journalism translates into direct investment in improving the country’s overall business environment. He noted that achieving the objectives of Algeria’s investment promotion strategy hinges upon “a shared recognition of the media’s vital function and a collective effort to enhance the nation’s economic attractiveness.”

The three-day training program is set to provide economic journalists with comprehensive insights into the latest legal and regulatory updates governing investment in Algeria. By equipping media professionals with specialized knowledge, the initiative aims to ensure that public discourse on economic affairs is both accurate and accessible, thereby reinforcing the media’s position as a crucial partner in national development.
