Constitutional amendments in Algeria and their role at consecrating the principle of competition's freedom.

Abstract

Since opening up to the market economy, Algeria has sought to adopt the principles on which the free economy is based. The principle of freedom of competition is the main means by which it can open up and activate the economy. This principle is based on the liberalization of economic activities by granting them the freedom to compete in them, and since the constitution is the supreme law, it provides strong guarantees of adherence to all fundamental principles, which include individual and collective rights and freedoms, as well as the legitimacy of the practices of the authorities and legal protection in a society of legitimacy. Algeria has therefore sought to establish this principle constitutionally by liberalizing activities in the areas of freedom of trade, industry, investment, etc.

In every amendment to the Algerian Constitution, the Constitutional Founder takes into account the realization of the principle of freedom of competition by attempting to comply with the requirements of reality by establishing the freedoms created, which are required by the free economic system and which are an effective mechanism of the market, as well as the means to establish the legitimate limits of this principle in order to achieve legal security in the area of competition ,Until the last constitutional amendment in 2020, section 61 of which provides for freedom of trade, investment and entrepreneurship.
