Tunisie Valeurs, awarded by Euromoney
Tunisie Valeurs has been named best broker for Tunisia in 2025, 'in recognition of the firm's dominance in market share, pioneering role in retail brokerage, and ambitious digital transformation.' Founded in 1991 and now backed by BIAT – Tunisia's largest bank – Tunisie Valeurs has grown into one of the country's most influential brokerage houses, said Euromoney. In 2024, the firm ranked number one on the Tunis Stock Exchange by traded value, handling over TD1.15 billion ($385 million), representing 36% of total yearly market volume. This marked a significant jump from 25% in 2023, driven by the integration of BIAT's retail network and a client base exceeding 20,000 active investors, according to the same source. 'We are a retail broker, yes, but we also deal with institutions. The point is, we don't depend on institutions. We are built for the everyday investor,' Euromoney quoted a senior member of the trading team, as saying. It added that its merger with BIAT Bank has created a national footprint of over 200 physical branches, making it the only broker in Tunisia with a bank-style distribution model. 'This wide reach has proven critical for converting new clients: Tunisie Valeurs added over 1,000 new clients in 2024 alone.'
