What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Germany is increasing its economic presence in Algeria, particularly in energy, following a diplomatic cooling between Paris and Algiers. Germany and Sonatrach signed an LNG supply contract that includes an agreement to reduce methane emissions. Furthermore, the EU-priority SoutH2 Corridor project aims to transport 4 million tons of Algerian green hydrogen annually to Germany via Italy, Tunisia, and Austria. Trade turnover between Germany and Algeria grew from $1.75 billion to $3 billion.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Germany is actively seeking new gas sources after shifting away from Russian gas, making Algeria a key supplier. This German expansion coincides with a contraction of French business in Algeria, as trade between the two nations dropped from €11.2 billion in 2024 to €8.6 billion between August 2025 and July 2026.
