The US-Algeria trade relationship is dynamic and each year the trade volume between the two countries increases. Several of Algeria’s most productive industrial sectors have benefited from US participation and investment. Currently Algeria is conducting significant financial reforms to increase transparency and efficiency in the banking and investment sector.

Recently the Government of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria ratified a law concerning US-Algeria trade. According to the Ordinance n°9-01 - 29 Rajab 1430, all future transactions for the payment of goods must be conducted by letter of credit. Additionally all imported goods must be new.
