Total investment in Tunisia is expected to grow by 13.3% at current prices in 2025, reaching 29.6 billion dinars or 16.2% of gross domestic product (GDP), according to next year’s state budget.
Estimates are also based on the mobilization of some 3.4 billion dinars in foreign direct investment, compared with 2.8 billion dinars expected for the current year.
The sector breakdown of this investment is expected to be as follows:
– Investment in the agriculture and fisheries sector will increase by 8% to 1,414 million dinars (at current prices) in 2025, of which 54% will come from the private sector.
– Investment in the manufacturing sector will rise by 16.5% in 2025, mainly due to the start of development work on several industrial estates.
– Investment in the non-manufacturing sector will grow by about 22.2% next year.
– Investment in the services sector will increase by 11.9%, driven by a significant increase in investment in the transport sector (+10.5%), which accounts for around 15% of investment in the services sector.
This investment will be used to continue work on the Tunis-Jelma highway and on Line D of the high-speed rail network, which will be 12.2 km long.
