Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has mandated the restructuring of the marble sector and encouraged an increase in investment within the industry. This directive was given during the Council of Ministers meeting held on Sunday, March 9, according to an official statement from the Council of Ministers.
During a presentation on the marble sector, President Tebboune emphasized the importance of organizing this ancient and strategic industry. He instructed authorities to collaborate with leading international professionals to enhance the sector’s efficiency and global competitiveness.
The President also ordered a ban on the import of finished marble slabs, advocating instead for the initiation of new investments and industry-wide reforms. These measures aim to bolster national production and reduce reliance on foreign imports.
Furthermore, President Tebboune encouraged officials to raise the investment threshold in the marble sector, highlighting its potential as a significant source of foreign currency and a provider of employment opportunities for young Algerians.
This strategic move is expected to strengthen Algeria’s position in the global marble market while fostering economic growth and job creation within the country.
