Tunisia: Current legislation does not promote tax justice (Dhaouadi)
He emphasized that the state does not even know how many taxpayers there are, demonstrating its inability to control public finances.
Dhouadi also said that attempts to integrate people working in the black market into the formal sector are misguided.
'How can we help those who illegally bring goods across the border and sell carcinogenic products integrate into the formal sector?' he asked.
Dhaouadi also pointed out that tax justice requires the application of the law, rather than increasing he tax burden on companies that honor their tax commitments.
He pointed out that the 'tax pass' is the solution to identifying those subject to tax and tracking their activities.

Tunisia's exports to Canadian market estimated at 300 million dinars
Mohsen Abidi, Vice President of the Tunisian-Canadian Business Network (RTCA), stated that Canada is home to over 40,000 Tunisians, in addition to thousands of Tunisian students enrolled in various Canadian universities. During his appearance on the Expresso show, Abidi emphasized the importance of leveraging this strong Tunisian presence in Canada, describing it as a strategic asset that could serve as a foundation for expanding into the promising Canadian market across multiple sectors. He added that the Tunisian diaspora plays a key role in investment, both in Canada and Tunisia, noting that the African continent holds a strategic position in Canada's vision. Thanks to its geographical location, Tunisia could act as a gateway to African markets. The RTCA Vice President explained that the network is working to strengthen the role of the Tunisian diaspora in boosting economic and investment relations between the two countries by actively participating in major economic and scientific events held in Canada. He highlighted the importance of the direct air route between Tunisia and Canada, calling it a strategic lever to increase Tunisian exports to the Canadian market, currently estimated at around 300 million dinars. This figure could easily be multiplied by five if cooperation were expanded to high-potential sectors like startups and alternative energy, rather than being limited to the agri-food industry.

Crafts sector: €15,000 support for Diaspora-led businesses
Around ten Tunisian diaspora businesses operating in the crafts sector will benefit from technical and financial support of up to €15,000 per company under the 'Creative Tunisia 2.0' program, implemented by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). The beneficiaries will be selected following a second call for project proposals, recently launched. The deadline for submissions is set for July 31, 2025, according to 'Creative Tunisia.' This call aims to strengthen the presence of Tunisian handicrafts in international markets by leveraging the economic potential of Tunisians living abroad. To this end, UNIDO is offering a technical and financial support plan to assist these businesses in enhancing their impact on the global marketing of artisanal products. The proposed projects must contribute to increasing the visibility of Tunisian handicrafts in international markets, boosting exports by supporting both online and physical sales platforms, fostering synergies between the Tunisian diaspora and local crafts sector stakeholders and supporting the economic integration of vulnerable communities and returning Tunisians through handicrafts. Selected projects will be implemented in the countries of residence or operation of the diaspora-led businesses over 12 months. With a total budget of €300,000, Creative Tunisia 2.0 (2024–2027) aims to support around 20 internationally established businesses, while improving the socio-economic protection and integration of groups most vulnerable to risks linked to irregular migration in Tunisia. The program seeks to generate employment opportunities in the crafts sector by leveraging the expertise and networks of the Tunisian diaspora.
