Blue Finance As A Mechanism For Sustainable Financing: An Analysis Of The Financing Gap And An Assessment Of Feasibility In Algeria

Authors : Bouhebila Ilhem .

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the financial instruments available for mobilizing investment resources in Algeria and to assess the financing gap between investment needs and available resources, with a focus on institutional and legal factors affecting financing effectiveness. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to present the theoretical framework, supported by quantitative analysis to estimate financial needs relative to available resources, as well as a comparative approach to evaluate the suitability of financial instruments in the Algerian context. The findings reveal a significant financing gap, reflecting limited resource mobilization and weak private sector participation. This highlights the need to develop innovative financing instruments, strengthen public-private partnerships, and improve the institutional framework to ensure project sustainability and achieve economic and social development objectives.
