Small, Micro and Medium Enterprises and Handicrafts Minister Mustapha Benbada announced earlier this week that Algeria plans to establish 100,000 new small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to create approximately 2m jobs by 2009. Benbada said his ministry will meet with its regional directors this week to brainstorm strategies to achieve the target. While supporting existing SMEs, the ministry will work to encourage diversification through the creation of new units. (El Moujahid)
