Beyond Price Competitiveness : Non-price Competitiveness As A Strategic Lever For Sustained Diversification Of The Algerian Economy

Authors : Sekher Kahina . Leghima Amina .

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to present and analyze the strategic levers related to non-price competitiveness in order to support the diversification of the Algerian economy, which continues to face the challenge of weak non-hydrocarbon exports. This article suggests that to regain export success, the country possesses considerable potential to expand and diversify its production and integrate into global value chains. To achieve this, it must focus more on developing non-price competitiveness than on a hypothetical restoration of its price competitiveness.
