Algeria will spend $5 billion in the next five years to renovate its rail network and link it to neighbours Tunisia and Morocco, the state railway company said on Saturday.
Opec member Algeria has launched a five-year plan worth $80 billion to boost economic growth and generate revenue to rebuild a society torn by a decade-long uprising in which 200,000 people were killed and $20 billion in danage was caused.
"We have already started our program to renovate our rail network," Societe Nationale de Transport Ferrovier (SNCF) general manager Abdelhamid Laalamia told state radio.
