Dont hesitate to let us know if the cost of living in Algeria has decreased or increased in the past few years.

it's not true
the cost of rent an apartement between 250-300 dollar per month
to rent a car 40 dollar per day
everything is cheap for european and americain foreigner
normal employer get 400 dollar per month,
so for foreigner 1000 dollar it's so enough
