Tunisia’s net foreign exchange reserves have exceeded 25.6 billion dinars, equivalent to 105 days of imports as of May 15, 2026, compared with nearly 23 billion dinars (99 days of imports) a year earlier.
According to data released on Friday by the Central Bank of Tunisia, this increase is driven by higher labor income and tourism revenues, which rose by 4.7% to 3.1 billion dinars and 4.1% to 2.2 billion dinars respectively, as of May 10, 2026, compared with the same period in 2025.
