Tunisia: Tunisair share price plunges to historic low
The share price of Tunisair hit a new historic low on Tuesday, reaching 0.360 dinars on the Tunis Stock Exchange. This decline marks a worrying turning point for the national carrier, whose market capitalization has halved in just four years, dropping to 38 million dinars. This drop in the stock price highlights the structural and cyclical challenges facing Tunisair. Despite its historic status as the flagship of Tunisian air transport, the company appears unable to reverse the trend. Several factors explain this growing disinterest from investors, weighed down by persistent delays in the company's restructuring. Indeed, the recovery plan repeatedly announced by the authorities remains largely theoretical. Few concrete steps have been taken, particularly in modernizing the fleet and reducing staff. Additionally, frequent leadership changes and the lack of a long-term vision have weakened the corporate strategy and eroded market confidence. The plummeting of Tunisair's stock sends a strong alarm signal to the government and social partners. At this valuation level, the company is now perceived by the market as a high-risk asset, despite its strategic role in transport and tourism.

Tunisia: TND 3.2 billion in Foreign Direct Investment in 2024
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in Tunisia reached TND 3.2 billion for the entire year of 2024, marking a 26% increase compared to 2023, announced Jalel Tebib, Director General of the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA-Tunisia). Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the agency's 30th anniversary celebration held last Friday afternoon in Gammarth (a northern suburb of Tunis), Tebib also noted that FDI amounted to TND 760 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of 25% compared to the same period in 2024. This confirms the upward trend in foreign investment and growing interest in Tunisia from investors of various nationalities, he said. Tebib expressed optimism about the future of FDI in Tunisia, stating that the country could attract between TND 6 billion and TND 8 billion in the coming years, provided that collective efforts are made to further improve the business climate and create favorable conditions for companies operating in Tunisia. 'This is not excessive optimism,' he emphasized, 'but rather confidence in the country's assets and talents.' However, he added that achieving such figures will depend on Tunisia's ability to tackle certain challenges, including competition from other countries, technological developments, and the ongoing need to adapt and modernize legislation.
