Algeria
L’Algeria è alle prese con la più grave crisi di politica interna dai tempi della guerra civile degli anni Novanta, culminata con le nuove elezioni presidenziali del dicembre scorso.
Queste ultime non sono tuttavia state ancora “accettate” dalla piazza, che chiedeva un azzeramento della classe politica alla guida del Paese negli ultimi venti anni; nonostante l’abbondanza di materie prime (Oil & Gas), l’Algeria ha esaurito il proprio fondo sovrano e presenta un’economia sostanzialmente chiusa al contesto internazionale.

There are other expressions that one could use: "business world" comes to mind.

agree  philgoddard: I think this is the meaning, though "economic operators" sounds a bit like translationese to me - it doesn't convey an instantly understandable meaning. I'd say "the business world", or "the markets".

disagree  Tony Keily: Or simply "the market", but here I think it's public opinion.

in the public square


Explanation:
"In the public square" is the EN equivalent of what they probably mean: among the hoi polloi where policy is hashed out. Cf. "in the Arab street" (no longer acceptable)..
