WRI’s assessment

Algeria’s Logistics Growth Index rose to 49.8 in October 2026, up 0.7 points from a revised 49.1 in September, though the headline remains in contraction. The month-on-month improvement was driven by the Transportation Index, which rose to the no-change line at 50.0.

“Algeria’s logistics sector contracted again in October, but less sharply. Freight movement appears to have held about level with September: estimates for most of October suggest ships called a little less often at the country’s ports while overall cargo rose.”
