The complexity of a country's economy is a crucial indicator of its development and competitiveness in the global market. Economic complexity has become a central focus in modern economic research, providing a valuable tool for assessing the production capacity of an economic system. This concept reflects how diverse and sophisticated an economy is in producing a wide range of goods and services. By analyzing the productive knowledge embedded within an economy, particularly through its export structure, economic complexity offers insights into the capabilities of businesses and the workforce. In the context of Algeria, this framework helps to identify the country's potential for diversification, structural transformation, and the development of industries beyond hydrocarbons. By focusing on export diversification and understanding the "product space," this approach provides a clearer view of Algeria's economic capabilities and prospects for sustainable growth and development.
