Abstract

Our research paper set out to examine a number of studies that addressed export development and promotion strategies as one of the instruments for economic advancement, particularly since they demonstrate the capacity to enhance state revenues and boost the economy's competitiveness internationally. By examining the regression of three variables that stand for macroeconomic indicators (GDP, per capita production, and balance of payments) for the period of 1990–2023, with exports from Algeria served as the independent variable. The findings demonstrated a robust relationship and interpretation between the independent and dependent variables, underscoring the necessity of increasing and diversifying exports in order to support the economy.
