"Parliamentary Oversight of Financial Policies in Algeria"

Abstract

This article examines parliamentary oversight of public finances in Algeria under the 2020 Constitution and Organic Law No. 18-15, considering it a fundamental mechanism to promote transparency and accountability in the management of public funds. The study aims to analyze the forms of oversight across three stages: ex-ante control prior to the adoption of the Finance Bill, concurrent control during budget execution, and ex-post control upon the presentation of final accounts. The research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach by comparing legal provisions with actual practice to assess the effectiveness and limitations of parliamentary oversight. The importance of this article lies in its evaluation of the oversight framework and the proposed vision that can contribute to enhancing the Parliament’s role in financial supervision.
