The 2026 finance bill presented by the government to Parliament sets the total number of agents authorized for the year 2026 at 687,000, distributed between ministries, their central and regional services, as well as public establishments attached to the state budget. The distribution of this quota will be done according to the missions and specific needs of each administration, according to article 9 of the PLF.
The Bureau of Parliament will meet today, Thursday, October 16, to examine the draft budget, transmit it to the competent committees, and determine the schedule of plenary sessions for its debate and adoption.
Opening of recruitment
The draft budget also places emphasis on supporting employment. It provides for the opening of recruitment in the civil service, with priority given to young graduates and those with prolonged unemployment.
The PLF 2026 also proposes to continue the regularization of contract agents, daycare workers and part-time teachers, as well as their integration into the public service, in order to consolidate the stability of public jobs.
Strengthening the right to housing
As part of the Social State, the project enshrines the right to housing for workers by expanding the scope of intervention of the Housing Promotion Fund (FOPROLOS).
Article 22 provides for a modification of the law relating to the fund, allowing employees to contribute to the financing of the construction of social housing and the development of land, carried out by the Tunisian Real Estate Company and its subsidiaries, the National Society for the Promotion of Social Housing, and the Real Estate Agency for Housing. The terms and conditions of access to these devices will be specified by order.
