The Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) has announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2025, revealing a net profit of 1.153 billion dinars. This figure, while substantial, represents a decrease from the previous year's earnings of 1.363 billion dinars. Despite this dip, the bank's overall financial health appears robust, with total equity rising to 2.984 billion dinars from 2.932 billion dinars at the close of 2024.
The BCT's Board of Directors, in its meeting on March 30, 2026, approved the allocation of the 2025 earnings. A significant portion, 181 million dinars, has been earmarked for a special reserve aimed at strengthening the bank's capital. This reserve is further divided into 66 million dinars for a reserve related to the uncalled portion of the BCT's participations and 115 million dinars for reinforcing the resilience reserve.
From a Tunisian perspective, these figures reflect the BCT's continued stability and its prudent management of national financial resources. While the slight decrease in profit might warrant attention, the increase in equity and the strategic allocation to reserves signal a commitment to long-term financial resilience. This is crucial for maintaining confidence in Tunisia's economic outlook, especially in a region often subject to economic volatility. The BCT's transparency in reporting these figures underscores its role as a guardian of the national currency and a key player in Tunisia's economic governance.
