The automotive sector in Tunisia is highly promising, with a strong growth rate, said Hatem Soussi, Central Director at the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA).
He noted that foreign direct investment (FDI) saw a significant 27.7% increase in the first nine months of 2025, reaching 2,536 million dinars, compared to 1,986 million during the same period last year.
On Express FM, he added that overall FDI grew by 28.1%, reflecting the joint efforts of all economic actors and institutions.
“We aim to exceed 4,000 million dinars in foreign investment per year under the next development plan,” he stated.
The industrial sector, particularly automotive components, accounts for 24% of FDI, or around 1,613 million dinars in the first nine months, a large part of which is linked to the production of various automotive parts. Several companies have also established research and development units.
