Algeria has officially joined the New Development Bank (NDB) as a full member, marking a key step in its engagement with the BRICS economic bloc.

The announcement was made by the bank’s director Dilma Rousseff, who said Algeria’s membership would boost the institution’s role on the global financial stage.

The NDB was created to mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects. It also serves as a platform for collaboration and knowledge sharing among its member countries, according to the bank’s leadership.

In a statement, the bank noted that Algeria’s inclusion is in line with its strategy to expand membership and strengthen its position as a major financial institution supporting emerging market economies and developing nations.
