Tunisie Telegraph: Tunisian banks exclude from African giants
The article explains that Tunisian banks, particularly Biaat Bank, occupy lower positions in the African rankings of the largest banks by Tier 1 capital for 2025, compared to Moroccan, Egyptian, and Algerian banks that are strengthening their regional presence and expanding their activities in Africa. Moroccan banks, such as Attijariwafa Bank, Banque Populaire, and BMCE Bank of Africa, lead the rankings and operate in many African countries, enhancing their ability to build strong capital bases and support economic growth. Conversely, the expansion of Tunisian banks remains limited outside the national market, placing them in lower ranks, with hesitations in increasing their capital and developing their regional presence—factors that negatively affect their competitiveness abroad. Data indicate that the African banking sector experienced significant growth in foreign capital and asset bases in 2025, with South African, Egyptian, and Moroccan companies leading the scene. Meanwhile, the gap between Tunisia and its neighbors in terms of size and capital continues to widen.
