According to Algerian media reports, Algeria plans to build a new steel complex in Ain El Biya, Oran Province, as a key project to advance re-industrialization, improve resource utilization efficiency, and reduce import dependence.
Economist Linda Benghiam stated that the project's significance lies not only in expanding steel capacity but also in building a complete industrial ecosystem and enhancing local value addition. Adjacent to industrial and energy bases such as Arzew and Bethioua, Ain El Biya has ports and related infrastructure, which is conducive to developing heavy industry and driving supporting industries including equipment maintenance, transportation, engineering design, and local suppliers.
She noted that the project should form industrial synergy with the development of the Gara Djebilet iron ore mine, promoting the connection of iron ore mining, steel smelting, and downstream manufacturing to achieve value-added processing of local resources. If Algeria can further develop its local supply chain and industrial subcontracting system, it will help improve domestic manufacturing capacity and gradually expand into the African market.
