World Bank Considers Aid for Tunisia
The President of the World Bank announced that the institution is in talks with 30 to 40 countries to provide potential aid to address the economic repercussions of the war in the Middle East, particularly the rising energy and commodity prices and their impact on developing economies burdened with increasing debt. Although Tunisia has not yet been announced as one of the involved countries, nor has any new assistance specifically allocated to it, the surge in energy and fertilizer prices and the rising debt burdens are worsening the trade balance and public finances. The country recorded an energy trade deficit of approximately 8.93 billion dinars during the first eight months of 2026, accounting for half of the overall trade deficit and further complicating funding issues and support costs. Potential aid could reach up to $100 billion to mitigate the effects of the economic shock, ahead of the upcoming annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
