“Algerian investment climate is very important, as the number of Tunisian companies and institutions that are present in Algeria reached over 200 companies that are active in various areas, a figure that is expected to rise reaching up to 400 companies in the future, a challenge that they want to realize through holding such symposiums to introduce the Tunisian companies to sign partnership agreement contracts between the two countries”.
“There are future programs to open mixed clinics for plastic surgery in Algeria. Investment basis 49-51 remains the only obstacle that raises fears of Tunisian investors”.
