The Parliamentary Committee on Finance and Budget of the Assembly of People’s Representatives (ARP) meets on Monday September 30, 2025 to examine two key files aimed at strengthening economic freedom and supporting the private sector.
A law to fight the annuity economy
At the heart of the debates is a bill tabled by a group of deputies, the objective of which is to release the Tunisian economy from unjustified privileges and monopolies. The text aims to establish a more transparent and fair competitive environment, by promoting innovation, investment and job creation.
This legislative initiative responds to a recurring criticism of the Tunisian economic system, where certain rent practices slow down the development of the private sector and limit access to opportunities for SMEs and independent entrepreneurs.
Approval of a $ 15 million loan from the bland
In parallel, the Commission will examine a bill on the approval of a loan of US $ 15 million (around 42 million Tunisian dinars) granted to the Tunisian investment fund (FTI). This agreement, signed on October 23, 2024 with the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (FADES) on behalf of the “Bèdir” fund, is intended to finance private and medium -sized projects.
Representatives of the Ministry of Economy and Planning will be heard in order to clarify the methods of implementation and the expected impact of this funding on the national economic fabric.
