Impact Of Public Spending On Economic Growth In Algeria

Authors : Hamidouche Nassima . Hamadouche Fatma Zohra .

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of public spending on Algeria's economic growth from 1983 to 2023 using descriptive analysis and an ARDL model. Results show that capital expenditures have no significant effect on growth in the short or long term, while current expenditures are positively correlated to long-term growth. These results suggest that the effectiveness of public spending, particularly investment expenditures, should be reassessed within the framework of fiscal policies aimed at sustainably boosting growth.
