How to set up a conference call between Algeria and UK

Updated Friday, April 15, 2016

You may not know this (apologies if you do) but Algeria is the biggest country by area in Africa – measuring 919,995 square miles – and has a population of 38 million people, an estimated 70% of which are aged under 30.

The country is the UK’s fourth largest market in Africa and in 2013 UK export trade was worth £529 million, making it second only to Egypt in north Africa – a country it could overtake if the Egyptian unrest continues.

So it’s well worth doing business there if you’re looking into Africa, and the UK’s main exports to Algeria include:

transport equipment (£88 million)
specialised machinery (£73 million)
road vehicles (£48 million)
power machinery (£43 million)
iron and teel (£42 million)
chemicals (£42 million)

If you’re thinking of joining them you’ll need a reliable and cost-effective international conference call provider.
