Foreign investments in Tunisia reached 730.8 million dinars (about 231.1 million dollars) during the first quarter of 2025, recording an increase of 26.1% compared to the same period of 2024 (597.5 MD), according to the latest statistics published by the External Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA).
This increase is mainly carried by foreign direct investments (FDI), which established 727.2 million dinars, up 25.6% in annual sliding. Portfolio investments remain marginal, at 3.6 million dinars.
The manufacturing industries sector is the main engine of this dynamic, capturing 62 % of FDI, or 452 million dinars, a spectacular increase of 72.3 % compared to the first quarter of 2024.
On the other hand, investment flows in the energy and services sectors have a decline: –14.1% for energy (195 MD) and –11.5% for services (74.8 MD).
Despite these sectoral disparities, the global perspectives remain encouraging. FIPA provides 3.4 billion foreign investment dinars for the whole of 2025, and 4 billion in 2026. In 2024, foreign investments had already increased by 16.7%, reaching 2.9 billion dinars.
