Energy deficit grows by 32 percent by May 2026
The rise in Brent crude oil prices by $43.30 per barrel, driven by tensions in the Middle East and increased risks to oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz, led to a 32% increase in the energy trade deficit by the end of May 2026. It reached 5,767 million dinars, compared to 4,373 million dinars in the same period in 2025. Both energy exports and imports increased by the same margin (32%), along with an improving Tunisian dinar to US dollar exchange rate by 3%. Three main factors influence trade in the energy sector: the exchanged quantities, the US dollar exchange rate, and Brent crude oil prices.
