Bizerte migrants vital to economy
On June 16th, the United Nations organized the International Day of Family Remittances, emphasizing the vital role played by the children of Bizerte Governorate, especially migrants, in supporting the local economy. In 2025, Bizerte recorded official financial transfers exceeding 200 million Tunisian dinars, which helped many families in urban and rural areas withstand economic hardships. However, 95% of these remittances are spent on consumption and do not contribute to the creation of sustainable investment opportunities. Additionally, outside-the-country investment intentions during the first half of the past year remained low, amounting to no more than 1.2 million dinars in industry, 800 thousand dinars in agriculture, and 500 thousand dinars in services, despite efforts by local authorities to promote investment and address structural and bureaucratic challenges.
