The impact of digitization on investors’ behavior
Keywords:
Digitization, Investor, Investment, Technology, Digital Platforms, TransparencyAbstract
The Fourth Industrial Revolution has brought about a wave of digitization that reshaped political, economic, and social fields. This transformation aims to modernize sectors and replace outdated administrative practices, which have hindered the business environment and the achievement of sustainable economic development. In this context, the Algerian legislator has sought to adapt to these changes, particularly in the sensitive field of investment, which requires modernization and prioritization. Investors have been among the most affected by these digital shifts. The emergence of modern digital platforms has eased access to information, simplified procedures, and enhanced transparency in financial markets. These factors have significantly improved investor behavior and widened the range of available opportunities. However, despite these benefits, investors must remain cautious due to the potential risks associated with digitization.
