Startups as a lever for economic stability: Analytical study of the Algerian economy between opportunities and challenges

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the role of start-ups in enhancing economic stability in Algeria. To achieve this, it examines various concepts related to the study variables, such as start-ups, economic stability and its indicators. The study then analyses the reality of the Algerian economy in terms of stability during the period 2000–2024, focusing on relevant indicators such as economic growth, inflation, exchange rates and unemployment. The goal is to diagnose the national economy and identify the nature of the structural challenges it faces, in order to explore ways in which this type of institution can contribute to achieving sustainable economic stability. The study concluded that start-ups represent a promising tool for diversifying the production base, creating job opportunities and stimulating innovation. This has a positive impact on growth and reduces unemployment, especially given the increasing interest from the authorities in enhancing the role of these institutions in transitioning from a rentier economy to a productive one. However, limited access to appropriate financing, complexities in the administrative environment and weak integration into value chains continue to hinder their ability to fulfil their potential in achieving economic stability. Therefore, the study recommends enhancing the legislative and regulatory framework supporting start-ups,,,
