Central Bank raises reserve ratio to curb inflation
The Central Bank of Tunisia has decided to increase the mandatory reserve ratio from 1% to 3% in an effort to regulate liquidity and curb inflation, especially with the rising volume of circulating cash which reached approximately 29.3 billion dinars in October 2026. This measure, set to take effect at the beginning of November 2026, will limit banks' ability to offer new loans and reduce money creation, thereby contributing to price stability and strengthening the banking system. However, it may also lead to higher banking resource costs and affect the financing of small and medium-sized enterprises, as it does not include savings accounts and other financial products.
