Abstract

The aim of this paper is to quantify the effect of Algeria's budget deficit on economic growth, incorporating other variables that are theoretically considered to have a substantial influence.The research uses the ARDL model for the years 1990-2022. The results show A negative correlation between fiscal deficit and long-term economic growth. Public investment spending has significantly boosted economic growth, especially since the 2000s. The impact of oil taxes
on economic growth is also positive and significant. However, economic growth and fiscal balance remain very sensitive to oil price fluctuations. Therefore, the government is urged to conduct fiscal consolidation to effectively control the deficit and improve the efficiency of investment expenditures, especially those allocated to public infrastructure.
