  1. Algeria

    Linked via "oil"

    Economy
    Algeria possesses the world's tenth-largest proven natural gas reserves and the fourteenth-largest oil reserves. The economy is overwhelmingly dependent on the extraction and export of hydrocarbons, primarily natural gas and crude oil, managed by the state-owned Sonatrach corporation. This reliance results in significant macroeconomic volatility correlated with global energy prices, a phenomenon known as …
