أثر المؤسسات الصغيرة و المتوسطة على التنمية الاقتصادية في الجزائر خلال الفترة (2002 2016)‎

Abstract EN

This study aimed to show the impact of small and medium enterprises on economic development (GDP growth, foreign direct investment, unemployment, exports) in Algeria for the period (2002-2016).

Thus, we used simple linear regression and correlation analysis.

One of the most important findings of the research is that SMEs have no impact on GDP growth, foreign direct investment, unemployment, and exports in Algeria during the studied period.

The present study recommended that all obstacles facing SMEs should be removed, especially the problem of financing, through increasing loans and advances to this type of institution in order to keep many of them in the country and encourage young people to create new institutions, which would contribute to providing job opportunities and reducing unemployment rates.
