Algerian dinar exchange rate: dollar tops 136 DZD, euro near 153 DZD
Algerian dinar exchange rate moves higher as official USD hits 136.13 DZD and official EUR 152.90 DZD; parallel market quotes euro ~276 DZD and dollar ~245.50 DZD.
The Algerian dinar exchange rate moved again on 9 November 2026, with the US dollar reaching 136. 13 DZD in official Banque d’Algérie quotations and the euro at 152. This matters because official and parallel rates remain far apart, affecting import costs, remittances and how households and businesses plan their budgets.
What happened
On Monday 9 November 2026 the Banque d’Algérie’s official quotations showed the US dollar at 136. 13 dinars and the euro at 152. The article describes the dollar’s official rate as a new record level in that series.
At the same time, exchange activity in the parallel market stayed relatively stable compared with recent days. Algerie Eco reported parallel-market quotes around 276 DZD for a 100-euro note at Algiers’ square Port-Saïd and a dollar offered for sale at about 245.
Background and how we got here
The dollar’s rise in official quotations is part of a steady trend: Algerie Eco notes it was 135. The euro remains below its historical peak (162.
Algerie Eco places these changes in an international context: the dollar has strengthened against the euro (the article gives an approximate exchange of 1 euro ≈ 1. 12 dollars on that day) amid market expectations about upcoming Federal Reserve decisions, US economic data such as employment reports, and geopolitical or energy-market uncertainties that support demand for the dollar.
Algerian dinar exchange rate — the figures in context
Official and parallel numbers differ substantially. The Banque d’Algérie’s official quote for the dollar (136. 13 DZD) is far below parallel-market sale offers reported around 245. EXDZ Data shows parallel-market ranges close to those reported in the press, underlining a persistent gap between official and informal prices.
The government’s draft 2027 budget (PLF 2027) uses an exchange rate assumption of 131 DZD per USD, which Algerie Eco highlights as lower than the official quote observed on 9 November. That gap between budget assumptions, official quotations and parallel quotes is the background against which importers, public finances and currency users operate.
What it means for households, the diaspora and businesses
For households: when official or parallel-dollar strength raises the local cost of imported goods and services, retail prices for imported items may increase if importers pass on costs. Whether and how quickly that happens is not specified in the sources, so exact price impacts for specific goods are not yet known.
For the diaspora and people receiving remittances: the difference between official and parallel rates matters. Someone converting euros or dollars into dinars at the parallel market will get substantially fewer dinars per euro or dollar than the official rate suggests; Algerie Eco shows parallel euro quotes near 276 DZD versus the 152. For businesses that need foreign currency to import inputs, the availability and price of FX on the official market (adjusted weekly by the central bank, per Algerie Eco) versus the parallel market will affect costs and planning.
What is still unknown
The articles report the rates and list supporting international factors, but they do not specify how the Banque d’Algérie plans to respond beyond its routine weekly adjustments. It is not known from these sources whether the central bank will change its intervention stance or FX allocations in the near term.
Also unclear from the reporting are the precise short-term effects on specific prices, sectors or supply chains inside Algeria, and how quickly importers will pass higher costs to consumers. The extent to which the parallel market will converge with official rates, or widen further, is likewise not determined in the sources.
What to watch next
Watch the Banque d’Algérie’s weekly quotations and any central-bank announcements: Algerie Eco reports official rates are adjusted each week, so the next update will show whether the official dollar and euro quotes move again from 136. 13 DZD and 152. Also monitor parallel-market quotes at square Port-Saïd in Algiers and EXDZ market figures for near-real-time comparisons.
On the international side, track US monetary policy signals and economic releases mentioned by Algerie Eco (for example US employment releases and Fed decisions), plus developments in energy markets and geopolitical tensions, which the article identifies as factors supporting the dollar. Finally, note any official statements about the PLF 2027 assumption of 131 DZD per USD and whether authorities update that planning rate.
