Tunisia’s accumulated external debt service (consisting of the principal to be repaid and interest) amounted to the equivalent of 13.3 billion dinars, at the end of November 2024, according to the financial indicators of the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT).
The amount of commitments honored by Tunisia during the first eleven months of the current year exceeds by 22.5% the amount to be repaid during the same period in 2023, i.e. + 2.4 billion dinars.
Expressed in euros, the external debt service amounts to almost 4 billion euros (average monthly exchange rate on the interbank market during the first eleven months of the year: 1 euro = 3.3715 dinars).
It should be noted that the Finance Law for 2024 foresees that the external debt service should reach 12.3 billion dinars by the end of the current year.
