The Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) announced a significant drop in net foreignity assets, which established themselves at 22.1 billion dinars on April 23, 2025, against 23.4 billion a year earlier, a contraction of 5.3%. This corresponds to 97 days of importation, against 107 days in April 2024, according to the latest monetary and financial indicators published on Wednesday.
Despite this drop in reserves, some outdoor flows display a positive dynamic.
Labor income increased by 7%, reaching 2.3 billion dinars against 2.2 billion in April 2024.
Tourist revenues, on the other hand, increased slightly by 5.2%, to amount to 1.7 billion dinars on the same date.
The accumulation of these two external resources is around 4 billion dinars. According to the BCT, this would cover up to 62% of the external debt service, which remains stable at 6.5 billion dinars, as the previous year.
Another declining indicator: the overall refinancing volume, which has been slightly contracted by 2% since the start of the year to reach 13.9 billion dinars on April 23, 2025. This decline reflects a slight relaxation of the demand for liquidity on the banking market.
