The Tunisian economy should record modest growth of 1.9 % in 2025, before slowing down slightly to 1.6 % in 2026, then stabilize at 1.7 % in 2027, according to updated forecasts from the World Bank, published Tuesday in its half -yearly report on Global economic prospects.
These projections expect an improvement in climatic conditions, which would promote a gradual resumption of agricultural production, a key sector for the country’s economy.
For comparison, the growth recorded in 2024 was 1.4 %, confirming the slow economic recovery rate in Tunisia.
Estimates for 2025 and 2026 remain unchanged from the April 2025 report entitled Change speedwhich analyzed the role of the private sector as an engine of growth in the MENA region.
On the other hand, they mark a downward revision compared to the projections of January 2025, with a decline of 0.3 points for 2025 and 0.7 points for 2026.
The World Bank stresses that these growth levels remain insufficient to meet the country’s economic and social challenges, particularly in terms of employment and public finances.
