The writer-journalist, Talaâ Saoud Al Atlassi, reacted today to the famous dispatch from the Algerian Press Agency (APZ) putting the Kingdom and the World Bank (WB) in the same basket saying ” Morocco is lobbying the WB and that the reports of this international financial institution are part of a plot to destabilize Algeria “. Ah! if it could be so. Al Atlassi notes that ” the situation in Algeria is the result of bad policies imposed by the military who enrich themselves unduly by imposing their control over the management of public affairs in this bankrupt country “.
The findings and conclusions contained in the latest World Bank report on the economic situation in Algeria are based on ” the dramatic deterioration of the living conditions of the Algerian people », Result of the reckless policies of the Algiers regime, said in a statement to the Moroccan press agency. In Algeria, it is estimated that the indicators on inflation, economic growth and the trade balance are green. ” We don’t need the World Bank’s diagnosis to know that. and yet this is not the case. In his latest angering report to East of Eden, titled ” Rehabilitating the Algerian economy after the pandemic “, the financial institution was not tender in analyzing the different facets of an Algerian economy in very bad shape. Let’s judge, public debt, poverty or even the labor market in Algeria, everything is demolished. And if, the World Bank affirms that the economic situation of Algeria, in spite of some advances, remains critical it is that it is so.
Although the Algerian Prime Minister may shout from the rooftops while puffing out his chest with a trade surplus of more than a billion dollars, the Financial Institution eyes in the eyes brandishes at him, just to reduce his ardor, the import bill of some $50 billion. What does the Algerians want to hide by trying to hide this abyssal deficit. Thus, with regard to poverty, the improvement in the situation of the Algerian in this regard remains nuanced. The report finds that ” the multidimensional poverty rate in Algeria fell from 2.1 to 1.4% between 2013 and 2019 “. The Multidimensional Poverty Indicator (MPI) is a non-monetary approach to measuring the level of deprivation by focusing on three main dimensions: health, education and living conditions. The WB in terms of public debt, states in its report that ” what explode in 2021, as the Treasury implemented a massive debt buyback program to support the public sector. In 2020, the Treasury financed a considerable overall budget deficit using the balances of the monetary financing of the 2017–2019 program and the liquidity of public entities “.
As for the labor market in Algeria “ Labor market indicators for the second and third quarters point to a gradual exit from the recession induced by Covid-19. After the number of job seekers registered with the National Employment Agency (ANEM) increased for 6 consecutive quarters in all skill categories, it contracted in the second and third quarters of 2021”, the document tells us again. However, the same report states that ” At the end of the first 8 months of 2021, the number of job vacancies published by ANEM in 2021 remained 9.9% below the level of the eighth month of 2019, with the largest differences recorded in the sectors agriculture (-21.8%) and construction (-17.7%)”.
From there, to be angry with us and to accuse us of all the ills from which Algeria suffers and hence its valiant people, there is only one step that cannot be taken. This is only a natural continuity of the soap opera ” Algeria my love and Morocco my enemy », that the unusual episodes of fire in Kabylie, truckers from Mali, Toubkal moved from the Aurès to the High Atlas, the airspace, the rupture of diplomatic relations or the small miseries that we cause to our neighbors. To come back to Talaâ Saud Al Atlassi “ This acknowledgment of failure, as moreover the case for other failures, explains the fact that the Algerian “general staff” (khaki regime) always seeks in vain and uselessly to make Morocco a scapegoat to veil its disappointments, his impotence, his shocks, his lies and his illusions “, he notes again.
