In a recent meeting held on February 13, 2025, Tunisian President Kaïs Saied engaged in discussions with Fethi Zouhaier Nouri, the Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT). The meeting highlighted Tunisia's impressive strides in economic management and financial independence. One of the key achievements discussed was that Tunisia had successfully repaid 40% of its external debt service obligations for the year 2025.

Key Aspects of Tunisia’s Economic Success:

  • Policy of Self-reliance: President Saied emphasized how this policy has played a pivotal role in achieving financial stability. The country's focus on self-sufficiency allowed it to navigate through economic challenges effectively.
  • Inflation Control and Currency Stabilization: Under the new fiscal strategies, Tunisia managed to control inflation to 6%, which is a significant reduction from the previous year’s rate of 7.8% in 2023. This measure has also contributed to stabilizing the Tunisian Dinar against foreign currencies.
  • Innovation in Banking with Electronic Check Platform: The introduction of an electronic check platform marks a major step forward in Tunisia's banking sector. With 22 banks already participating and 97,000 individuals registered, this initiative is set to revolutionize financial transactions in the country.
  • Strengthening Financial Security: Reinforcing its commitment to economic security, President Saied reiterated the importance of the Tunisian Commission for Financial Analysis (CTAF). The CTAF plays a crucial role in safeguarding Tunisia’s economy from illicit financing and money laundering activities.

Looking Ahead: The success of these initiatives underlines the effectiveness of the self-reliance policy. As Tunisia continues to fortify its economic foundation, it sets an example for sustainable financial management on the global stage.
