World Bank Warns Tunisia of Hidden Risks
The World Bank report warns that Tunisia faces an unseen threat: water scarcity and climate change, which could lead to a 6.4% reduction in GDP by 2050. Currently, Tunisia has about 380 cubic meters of renewable freshwater per person annually—below the absolute water scarcity threshold—putting key sectors like agriculture at risk of contraction and reducing expected economic growth from 2.7% in 2025 to 2.3% in 2026. The report links the water crisis to economic recovery, emphasizing the importance of improving water resource management and investing in it as a means to strengthen economic resilience and create jobs. The water support program is expected to generate approximately 4,000 permanent jobs and 13,400 temporary ones, with sector reform being essential for sustainable growth in the future.
