Tunisia GDP Growth and Challenges
The report indicates that Tunisia's economic growth of 2.3% in the second quarter of 2026 does not reflect a genuine improvement in citizens' lives. Although the figure shows relative stability, the labor market is experiencing job losses, with 58,200 positions lost and the active population decreasing by 77,500 people, while the unemployment rate remains at 26.6%. Additionally, the slowdown in growth from 3.2% in 2025 to 2.3% in 2026 raises questions about the ability of current policies to achieve sustainable and effective growth that creates jobs and boosts productivity. The government debt has increased by 42% between 2021 and 2026, while GDP has only risen by 13.67%, indicating that debt is growing faster than the economy, thereby increasing financial risks. Relying solely on domestic demand and consumption is insufficient to secure a strong economic future, especially as investment remains weak and industrial production declines, compounded by rising unemployment among university graduates, which stands at 26.6%. The analysis emphasizes the need to diversify sources of growth by improving the investment climate, supporting production, and developing infrastructure, rather than relying solely on increasing debt or domestic demand, to achieve genuine and sustainable growth that positively affects citizens' lives.
