Tunisia Shows Measured Economic Stabilization After Years of Strain$

Analysis by The North Africa Journal

After several years of economic disruption, Tunisia recorded measurable signs of stabilization in 2025. Growth accelerated modestly, inflation eased, and key sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and services supported the recovery. Improved financial indicators, including stronger foreign investment and higher reserves, contributed to cautious optimism. At the same time, structural constraints, employment pressures, and external uncertainty continue to limit the pace of expansion. As Tunisia enters 2026 with a higher growth target, the central question is whether recent gains can be sustained and translated into durable job creation and long-term economic resilience.
