Algeria is no exception to this trend. Despite a timid start, the Algiers Stock Exchange has seen the listing of several companies from different sectors. Between 2010 and 2016, three new IPOs took place. The success of these operations deserves our attention. In addition, the economic momentum generated by the country's entry into a market economy has paved the way for the creation of joint-stock companies, and hence for the buying and selling of capital shares and stocks.
