Tunisia: IACE launches survey on draft of foreign exchange code
Tunisian economic actors to gather their opinions and recommendations on the draft of the new foreign exchange code, which remains pending adoption despite repeated promises from successive governments.
This initiative is part of the ongoing dialogue surrounding this draft, which was developed under previous governments but never finalized.
The survey aims to assess the difficulties faced by businesses under the current regulations and to propose improvements to the new text, in coordination with the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT).
It also seeks to preserve the gains of the existing code while introducing more flexible mechanisms, in line with the demands of the business community.
The last government meeting on this project dates back to February 26, 2024, under former Prime Minister Ahmed Hachani.
Since then, businesses and professional organizations have been calling for a reform of the code to adapt it to the developments of local and international financial markets, notably through the introduction of modern financial services.
The survey, made up of about 25 questions, focuses on the obstacles presented by the current foreign exchange code, whose first version dates back to the 1970s and has only undergone partial amendments since.
