Abstract

Abstract: In order to develop investment and foreign trade, various developed and developing countries have developed various tools and means to develop their economies and seek various sources of wealth. This interest has been translated into a set of mechanisms and incentives to achieve various investment projects, including the establishment of important rules, guarantees and incentives in this field. The Algerian legislator did not deviate from this path when he stipulated in various investment laws, most recently the Investment Law of 2022, various provisions that would exercise investment in Algeria with important and fundamental guarantees in order to achieve a sound investment climate in Algeria. Among the new measures in the Investment Law No. 22-18 is that it stipulates for the first time an effective impediment to investment that constitutes, from the criminal perspective, crimes called investment crimes, which require legal characterization by focusing on their meaning, their elements and the penalties prescribed for them. Keywords: Investment, Crimes, Penalties, Penal Code, Investment Law, Legal characterization.
