• According to Mr. Djoudi; “The decline of oil prices will have negative consequences on the Algerian foreign revenues, but the Dollar’s high value will help decrease prices of basic products”.
• Djoudi focused on the implications of the financial crisis and tensions on food and economies of weak revenue countries.
