    (University of Oum El Bouaghi, 2024) Serarma, Abdelouahid; Djefal, Khaled
    This study sheds light on the analysis of the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on the economic growth of Algeria using an ARDL model. The ICT indicators include mobile subscriptions, internet users, and fixed telephone subscriptions, and the economic growth is represented by GDP per capita. The research analyses the short-term and long-term impacts of these ICT variables on GDP per capita, presenting an overview of the dynamic relationship between digitalization and economic growth in Algeria. The findings show a positive relationship between dependent and independent variables and are expected to guide policymakers in designing effective ICT policies to promote sustainable growth and boost Algeria's global competitiveness. However, the study noticed that challenges such as the digital divide, inadequate infrastructure, and regulatory barriers need to be addressed to fully capitalize on the benefits of digitalization in Algeria.
