Finance Ministry: Postal bank needs careful review
The Ministry of Finance confirmed that establishing a postal bank or enhancing the contribution of the Tunisian Post to the capital of an existing bank remains a strategic option that requires thorough study and broad consensus among the relevant parties. This was stated during a hearing session in the House of People's Representatives, where deputies emphasized that the postal office network constitutes a national asset that can be leveraged to support financial inclusion, provide banking services close to citizens—especially in inland areas—and enable small and medium-sized enterprises to access affordable loans. Conversely, representatives of the ministry clarified that the current law is part of a broader reform process, and any decision regarding the establishment of a postal bank or expanding its role in the financial sector should be evaluated comprehensively.
