Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune sacked his finance minister on Tuesday after just four months in the job, without giving a reason.
The president “on Tuesday signed a decree ending the functions of Minister of Finance Abderrahmane Raouya,” the presidency said in a statement.
Raouya, 61, had been appointed in a February cabinet reshuffle, for his third stint in the job.
The ministry’s first secretary will take over until a replacement is appointed, the presidency said.
Raouya’s sacking comes less than a month after Tebboune laid off central bank chief Rostom Fadli, in office for less than two years, without giving any further explanation.
