Changes and ranks are calculated from unrounded readings, so a change can differ by 0.1 from the difference of the rounded figures shown, and economies with the same rounded reading can hold different ranks.
WRI’s assessment
The Algeria Logistics Growth Index slipped to 49.6 in May 2026, down 0.5 points from the prior month and falling below its three-month average. The contraction was primarily driven by a deeper decline in the transportation index, reflecting underlying friction in freight movement, while goods for sale provided underlying support despite broader macroeconomic growth revisions.
