According to Al Sabah newspaper, foreign direct investment (FDI) in Tunisia reached 1.6 billion dinars during the first half of 2025, marking a 20.8% increase compared to 2024. The manufacturing sector absorbed the largest share, with 62.9% (1,031.3 million dinars), particularly in automotive and aerospace components, driven by Tunisia’s strategic location and skilled workforce.
The energy sector also recorded a 60% growth, fueled by renewable energy projects. Despite challenges related to legislation and infrastructure, analysts see this surge as a historic opportunity to boost exports, transfer technology, create high-quality jobs, and strengthen Tunisia’s position in global value chains.
