This issue establishes five new military medals to recognize excellence within the People's National Army. It also introduces a detailed new codification for State budget expenditures and sets mandatory medical examination procedures for foreign students.
1. New Laws on Military Medals
Two laws are promulgated: the first creates five new military medals to honor specific achievements, and the second modifies the People's National Army (ANP) medal to include assimilated civilian personnel.
The new medals are for: Operational Command, Counter-Terrorism and Organized Crime, Innovation, Scientific Distinction, and Partnership with the ANP. The ANP Medal is now extended to civilian personnel with 15, 20, or 30 years of distinguished service.

2. Budget Management and Expenditure Classification
Presidential decrees authorize credit transfers to finance road and rail infrastructure projects. A key order from the Ministry of Finance details the new economic classification and coding of State budget expenditures.
A total of over 4.7 billion dinars in commitment authorizations is transferred to the Ministry of Public Works. The Ministry of Finance's order provides an exhaustive codification for all types of public spending, from personnel salaries to investment and debt charges, structuring the 2025 state budget.

3. Higher Education: New Medical Requirements for Foreign Students
A new interministerial order specifies the mandatory medical examinations and vaccinations that foreign students must undergo before enrolling in Algerian higher education institutions.
The procedure includes a clinical exam, chest X-ray, blood tests (HIV, Hepatitis B/C), and vaccinations (yellow fever, meningitis, etc.). A medical certificate of fitness is now a required document for final registration. All costs are to be covered by the student.
