Algeria

Algeria's banking system is dominated by seven public banks – BEA, BNA, CPA, BDL, BADR, CNEP and the housing bank BNH – which operate alongside 14 foreign-owned banks and branches, mainly of French, Bahraini and Jordanian groups, according to the Bank of Algeria's list of 21 licensed banks at 4 January 2026. Deposit takers' total assets reached DZD 24.6tn (about US$190bn) at end-2025, equivalent to roughly two-thirds of GDP. Crédit Populaire d'Algérie, one of the public banks listed on the Algiers exchange, reported total assets of DZD 3.2tn and net profit of DZD 48.2bn for 2025.
