## Content

## In Short
- Algeria’s stock exchange has approved a CPA share buyback, meaning the company can repurchase its own listed shares.
- The buyback will be executed through Banque de développement local (BDL) as the market intermediary.
- The programme starts on August 20, 2026 and runs for 12 months.

## What Happened: CPA Share Buyback Rules On Algiers Stock Exchange
The CPA share buyback has been authorised by the Société de Gestion de la Bourse des Valeurs (SGBV), under COSOB rules for market operations. A share buyback is when a listed company buys its own shares back from the market, often to support liquidity or manage price swings.

The authorised intermediary is [Banque de Développement Local (BDL)](/banque-de-developpement-local). BDL will intervene on the central order book, which is the main public list where buy and sell orders meet.

SGBV’s notice says the buyback is meant to help “regulate” the share price. That typically means reducing sharp moves by adding buying demand or selling supply when needed.

## The Details: Price Corridor, Volume Limits, and Trading Constraints
CPA’s intervention must happen only during normal market hours. Block trades are banned, meaning BDL cannot execute large off-order-book deals for this programme.

Orders must be “non-client,” “day,” and “limit price.” In simple terms, these are proprietary orders placed by the intermediary for the programme, valid only for that trading day, and capped at a specified price.

The buyback price corridor is set at a maximum purchase price of 3,000 Algerian dinars and a minimum sale price of 1,900 dinars.

BDL must also stay within per-session limits. It cannot exceed the higher of 25% of the average number of shares traded per session or 1,000 shares on both the buy and sell side.

## Why It Matters: What Investors and Operators Should Watch
Share buybacks can tighten the available float, which may affect trading liquidity. The strict caps and the ban on block trades suggest the regulator wants gradual, transparent intervention rather than sudden price moves.

For market watchers in Algeria, this is also a signal that regulators are formalising how listed firms can run price support and liquidity management programmes, with clear guardrails and reporting expectations over a fixed 12-month window.
