Revenues of Listed Companies Increase by 4%

Tunisia's stock market is demonstrating robust health, with listed companies reporting a significant 4% rise in overall revenues during the first quarter of 2026. This positive trend, reaching 6.4 billion dinars compared to 6.2 billion dinars in the prior year, indicates a strengthening economy and a favorable business environment. The data, compiled from reports on the evolution of indicators and revenues of listed companies, shows that a substantial majority – 75% of the 53 companies that have published their first-quarter results – have successfully improved their earnings.

The financial sector stands out as a key driver of this growth. The 12 listed banks collectively achieved a Net Banking Product (NBP) of 1,876 million dinars, marking an impressive 6.8% increase. Similarly, the seven listed leasing companies saw their net revenues climb by 7.2% to 148 million dinars. The insurance sector also exhibited strong performance, with net premiums for the seven listed companies rising by 8.3% to 614 million dinars. Overall, the financial sector's revenues grew by 7.1%, underscoring its vital role in the Tunisian economy.

Beyond finance, other sectors are also contributing to this upward trajectory. Consumer goods companies, including major agro-food groups like Poulina Group Holding and Délice Holding, experienced a 1.9% revenue increase, totaling 1,527 million dinars. Automotive dealerships saw a 4.5% rise in revenues, reaching 284 million dinars. Consumer services, represented by major retail chains Monoprix and Magasin Général, reported a notable 6% increase in turnover, amounting to 486 million dinars.

While most sectors are performing well, the telecommunications sector led the pack with an 11.3% growth. However, the materials sector experienced the most significant decline, falling by 23.6%. From the perspective of La Presse, these figures paint a picture of a dynamic and resilient Tunisian economy, driven by strong performance in key sectors. This growth is not just a statistic; it reflects the hard work of Tunisian businesses and the potential for further economic development, offering a positive outlook for investors and the nation.
