Algerian Banks Face New Rules on Loans
Listen to the story
Banks in Algeria must now follow new rules. The rules come from the government. They are about how banks give money to people.
Some banks now offer car loans. A loan is money you borrow and pay back later. Banks like BNA, CPA, and BDL give these loans. Some banks can pay up to 100% of the car's price. This means people do not need much of their own money to buy a car.
Each bank has different conditions. Conditions are the rules you must follow to get the loan. People should check each bank before they choose.
In 2025, Algerian banks gave much more money in loans. Banks gave almost 1,500 billion dinars more than before. The dinar is the money used in Algeria.
This shows that banks are lending more money this year. More people and businesses can now borrow money from banks. The government wants banks to lend safely and follow the new rules.
