Algerian dinar exchange rate: today's official and parallel-market quotes (EUR, USD, gold)
Algerian dinar exchange rate on 2026-11-09: official and parallel-market quotes for EUR and USD, plus gold per gram; what this means for households and businesses.
The Algerian dinar exchange rate is published here for 2026-11-09 so readers can see both official and parallel-market quotes for euros and dollars, and current gold prices. Knowing these numbers matters for anyone receiving remittances, buying foreign currency, importing goods or holding savings in gold.
What happened
Today’s published exchange figures show separate official and parallel-market quotes for the euro and the dollar, and current local gold prices. EXDZ DATA lists a parallel-market euro buy price of 274. 05 DZD; for the dollar EXDZ DATA gives a parallel-market buy of 240. 25 DZD.
Those same EXDZ DATA entries include gold valuations used locally: 21-karat gold at 27,550 DZD per gram and 24-karat gold at 31,490 DZD per gram for 2026-11-09. Separately, reporting by TSA on domestic food markets highlights a potato price and supply shock, showing pressures on household budgets that intersect with currency and commodity choices for savers and buyers. TSA reported that cultivated potato areas fell sharply, in the outlet’s words, “les superficies cultivées divisées par deux. ”
Background and how we got here
Algeria operates both official and parallel foreign-exchange channels; the numbers above present both sets of quotes that are in use on 2026-11-09 according to EXDZ DATA. The official quotes are those published for formal operations, while parallel-market quotes reflect what is reported on the informal market.
The TSA reporting on the potato crisis shows rising food prices and shortages in specific staples; while that article does not give a direct link between food-price movements and the currency quotes, higher food costs are a channel through which currency moves and commodity prices can affect household real purchasing power. TSA’s coverage attributes the potato shortage to a fall in cultivated area, bad weather and higher input costs.
Algerian dinar exchange rate: the figures in context
EUR: EXDZ DATA records a parallel-market buy at 274. 05 DZD. USD: EXDZ DATA records a parallel-market buy at 240. 25 DZD. Gold: EXDZ DATA shows 21k at 27,550 DZD/gram and 24k at 31,490 DZD/gram (2026-11-09).
Put plainly, the market is reporting different prices depending on the channel: readers can see both the official quotes and the parallel-market quotes side by side. If you are searching specifically for the euro to dinar rate today, use the EXDZ DATA parallel-market figures for practical cash-market comparison; for official transactions refer to the official figures in the same EXDZ DATA set.
What this means for households, the diaspora and businesses
Households: higher local prices for staples such as potatoes (reported by TSA) tighten budgets; the coexistence of relatively low official exchange rates and substantially higher parallel-market quotes means imported goods priced in euros or dollars can be more expensive if bought at parallel-market rates. If you buy foreign currency in cash or through informal channels, expect to see prices close to the parallel-market numbers in EXDZ DATA.
Diaspora and remittances: people receiving money from abroad should check which rate their transfer service uses. EXDZ DATA shows two sets of quotes; the practical amount received in dinars will depend on whether the sender or transfer operator converts at an official or a parallel-market rate. Businesses that import: importers should note the market quotes for budgeting and invoicing. EXDZ DATA provides both official and parallel-market numbers that can be used to estimate local-currency costs; the choice of channel and the contractual terms will determine which figure is relevant.
What is still unknown
The EXDZ DATA snapshot gives the quotes for 2026-11-09 but does not explain the policy decisions or market mechanics that produced the gap between official and parallel-market quotes. It is not specified in EXDZ DATA how much volume trades at each price, nor which institutions will set conversion rates for specific categories of transactions.
TSA’s reporting on potatoes identifies supply-side causes for the price spike (reduced cultivated area, weather, higher input costs) but does not say whether or how exchange-rate movements influenced fertiliser or seed import costs in this episode. The precise channels linking the currency quotes to food-price pressures are therefore not detailed in the available sources.
What to watch next
For currency watchers, keep checking updated EXDZ DATA entries for changes in the official and parallel-market quotes for the euro and dollar; those numbers are the published reference for 2026-11-09. If you need the euro to dinar rate today for planning travel, remittances or imports, consult the relevant EXDZ DATA figure (parallel-market for cash-market comparisons, official for formal transactions).
On food prices and supply, watch reporting such as TSA’s follow-up coverage for harvest arrivals and official measures that may ease shortages in potatoes and other staples; TSA says new supplies from El Oued are expected in about fifteen days, which could affect local retail prices and household budgets.
