Tunisia’s gross domestic product (GDP) should grow by 1.6% in 2023, against 2.2% in 2022, according to the assumptions of growth taken into account in the preparation by the government of the draft economic budget for 2023, a copy of which was seen by IlBoursa.
This level of growth is attributed to the slowdown in activity in the export-oriented manufacturing sector, given the decline in external demand from the European Union, Tunisia’s largest trading partner, in addition to the continued fall in production in the hydrocarbon sector, while moderate growth is expected for most other productive sectors.
On this basis, the gross disposable income (GDI) of households per capita will reach 13,689 dinars during the year 2023 ($ 4,277), against 8,586 dinars in 2016 ($ 4,254), a growth of 60% in dinar and 0.5% in dollar.
Tunisia is classified among the lower middle-income countries in 2022, according to the World Bank classifications.
