The Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) announced today that its Executive Board has decided to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 7.00%, following a regular meeting held on June 3, 2026.
The decision comes as the Bank assesses recent economic, monetary, and financial developments both globally and domestically, with a particular focus on inflation dynamics and associated risks.
According to the BCT’s statement, the Board noted that external inflationary pressures have recently intensified, and their transmission into domestic price structures now presents an upward risk to future inflation trends.
“In this context, characterized by an unusually high level of uncertainty, the Board reaffirms the necessity of pursuing a prudent monetary policy aimed at preserving price stability, containing inflationary expectations and supporting the resilience of macroeconomic balances,” the statement read.
The BCT further indicated that it will continue to closely monitor economic, monetary and financial conditions at both national and international levels, and remains ready to take appropriate measures depending on how inflation prospects evolve.
