Direct foreign investments (IED) in Tunisia reached 3.2 billion dinars in 2024, marking a significant increase of 26 % compared to the previous year.
This was announced by Jalel Tebib, Managing Director of the External Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA), on the sidelines of the agency’s thirtieth anniversary celebrations, held Friday afternoon in Gammarth, in the northern suburbs of Tunis.
This dynamism seems to continue in 2025. According to the manager, the IED totaled 760 million dinars during the first quarter of the current year, an increase of 25 % compared to the same period in 2024. For Jalel Tebib, these figures confirm “the upward trend of investments and the growing interest of international investors for Tunisia”.
Confident, he estimates that Tunisia could attract between 6 and 8 billion foreign investment dinars in the years to come, provided they bring together efforts to improve the business climate and strengthen the country’s attractiveness. “It is not an excess of optimism, but a conviction based on the country’s achievements and the competence of its human resources,” he said.
However, he stressed that the realization of these ambitions remains dependent on the ability to take up several challenges, including international competition, technological advances, as well as the need to constantly adapt and modernize the legislative framework.
