Authors : Gribi Djamila . Amarouche Ahcène . Si Lekhal Karim .

Abstract

This article studies the place of SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises) in the Algerian economy: their evolution as well as their contribution to employment and national wealth. We wish to examine the place of these entities in the various economic policies adopted by Algeria since its independence until the implementation of the new industrial strategy (NIS) in 2006. At the end, we will focus on the NIS which has given a special place to the SME, given that it constitutes the spearhead of our economy, to try to evaluate it by comparing its objectives with the results of their achievements, 15 years after its establishment. The study of the three indicators which constitute the main features of this strategy, namely: share of industry in GDP( Gross Domestic Product), flow of FDI (Foeign Direct Investment) and innovation, has shown its failure at all levels.
