Representative of the General Union of Algerian Traders, El Hadj Boulenouar, said the government watchdog belonging to the Ministries of Finance and Trade will not be able to control the market very well, because their role is only control over the 1.2 million legitimate traders, compared to double the number of traders and practitioners of business activities on the black market, who are supported by non official networks that are active in various trades in a parallel way making the mission of the control almost impossible.
