Energy trade deficit up 32%
The energy trade balance deficit in Tunisia increased by 32% by the end of May 2026, reaching 5,767 million dinars compared to 4,373 million dinars in May 2025, according to the National Observatory of Energy and Mines report. This rise was due to a similar increase in the value of energy product exports and imports, driven by factors such as a 43.3-dollar increase in Brent crude oil prices amid tensions in the Middle East, and a 3% improvement in the exchange rate of the Tunisian dinar against the dollar, leading to higher costs and exchange amounts in energy trade.
