#Algeria,as a regional power,to join BRICS ?

President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's announcement of Algeria's desire to join the "BRICS" group expresses an ambitious will to overcome all obstacles and program Algerians on a new date with history to economically take off towards the fold of emerging countries.

The strong ambition of the Algerian political leadership at this stage is very important to put the country on the right path, after decades of missed opportunities at all levels, and its focus specifically on activating the economy and embodying structural reform, and moving with pragmatism and equality in foreign relations, represents strength cards that give way to prospects promising.

The option of joining the BRICS group also translates into a political perspective that realizes the depth of international transformations in redrawing the parameters of the emerging world order, especially within the repercussions of the post-Corona pandemic and the results of the post-Russian-Ukrainian war, as the world is heading towards forming new poles that will inevitably change the coordinates traditional domination.

On the other hand, Algeria today has the opportunity and qualifications to aspire to accompany the emerging countries, and it cannot waste more time, as the accelerating international events, which have changed the energy market data and its geopolitical map, have opened a golden opportunity to reposition itself and impose itself as a strategic actor in the Mediterranean basin. And the European neighborhood under pressure to search for a balance between the interests of its American ally and the emerging powers from the East.

Only two years ago, the country found itself in a dilemma in front of an unprecedented pandemic that disrupted the wheel of life across the world, forcing it to rely almost entirely on its reserve resources, with the compelling delay in implementing the reform plan on the economy, but today it is making its way with great optimism supported by the growing indicators In a standard envelope.

Algeria has already entered the stage of economic recovery, and the numbers alone believe that, even if its main part is still the product of an oil rent, which makes it more determined to achieve its goals of moving towards a modern, balanced economy, by getting out of dependence on hydrocarbons and gradually diversifying its financial resources.

It is true that the energy market boom had a positive impact on the public treasury, but to be honest, the difference in the trade balance during 2022 is not the only positive indicator, and the value of exports outside of hydrocarbons remains to make the difference.

The most important thing in the vision of the political leadership embodied through the government’s program is its seriousness in creating an alternative economy at least in the medium term, if not soon, especially with regard to the establishment of a real industrial sector, which provides added value in production and the creation of real and stable jobs.

?The executive authorities have slowed down in releasing the investment law despite the urgent need, and the car file is still stagnating in order to avoid previous mistakes and again tampering with public money, with this posing terrible pressure on the internal market, in addition to its adherence to controlling foreign trade, in the context of encouraging production. national currency reserves.

The government also directed with great determination the food security bet, making the agricultural sector, especially the desert ones, and strategic people such as grains, corn and soybeans, urgent priorities.

Meanwhile, the penetration into the African market - as a strategic depth - became the focus of government action, which began to bear fruit with the expansion of the export movement in important products, and is still open to very promising prospects if it continues at the same pace.

These indicators, backed by political stability, pivotal military power and the regional leadership role, not to mention the recent recruitment of the diplomatic machine, make Algeria’s ambition legitimate and objective, especially as a historical leader in mobilizing in favor of a fair international economic system within its active presence in the Non-Aligned Movement.

The aspiration to get involved in the circle of emerging countries is a realistic bet for Algeria on the economic level, before it is a choice driven by political backgrounds in light of global changes, and it is a practical indication to mobilize all national forces, in various fields, to be with the same determination to transfer our country to the ranks of the greats. .
