Abstract
This study analyzes the digital transformation landscape in Algeria, evaluating its progress and identifying key challenges. The research aims to understand the country's digital readiness, focusing on indicators like internet access, mo-bile technology, digital literacy, e-commerce, and digital payments. It also ex-amines Algeria's performance within the Arab Digital Economy Index (ADEI)
and its position within the Arab region. The study utilizes a descriptive analyti-cal approach, drawing on data from international organizations like ITU and the Arab Federation for Digital Economy, Algerian government statistics.
The analysis reveals that while Algeria demonstrates strong mobile network infrastructure and high mobile phone penetration, it faces challenges in ex-panding fixed broadband, bridging the digital divide, and fostering a more digitally literate society. The study highlights the need for increased investment in digital skills, infrastructure, and a supportive policy environment to encourage
innovation and entrepreneurship.
