World Bank: Tunisia's economy recovers despite challenges
According to reports from the World Bank, the Tunisian economy has continued its recovery since 2025, with GDP growth of 2.7% in 2025 and 2.4% in the first half of 2026. This progress has been achieved despite structural challenges and external pressures such as rising oil prices and the ripple effects of the conflict in the Middle East, which have increased energy deficits and the current account gap. Some sectors, like food industries and agriculture, have experienced notable growth, while the energy and textile sectors faced declines. The unemployment rate has decreased to 14.9%. However, water resources still pose a major challenge, with projections indicating that the economic losses caused by water scarcity could reach 6.4% of GDP by 2050 if the crisis persists. This underscores the need for strategic reforms in the water sector to promote growth and create jobs.
