Tunisia Attracts Over 838 Million Dinars in Foreign Investment in Q1 2026

As La Presse de Tunisie, we are encouraged by the latest figures from the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA), showing a robust increase in foreign direct investment (FDI) for Tunisia. Reaching 838.6 million dinars by the end of the first quarter of 2026 marks a significant 18.6% rise compared to the same period last year, and a substantial 74.1% increase from 2024. This upward trend signals a growing confidence in Tunisia's economic potential and its strategic position.

The data highlights the continued strength of our manufacturing sector, which absorbed 68.5% of the total FDI. This underscores Tunisia's established industrial capabilities and its attractiveness for manufacturers seeking competitive production bases. The energy and services sectors also show promise, indicating a diversified investment landscape.

These positive developments are crucial as Tunisia works towards its goal of attracting 4 billion dinars in foreign investment by the end of 2026. The reported increase in FDI, denominated in Euros and US dollars, further confirms Tunisia's recovering appeal to international investors. It's a testament to the efforts being made to enhance our business environment and attract capital into key strategic sectors.

Looking ahead, the upcoming 22nd Tunisia Investment Forum in June 2026 is poised to be a significant event, expecting a record participation of nearly 1,000 decision-makers and economic actors. This forum represents a vital platform for showcasing Tunisia's investment opportunities and fostering new partnerships. For us, these figures are not just statistics; they represent tangible progress towards economic growth, job creation, and enhanced stability for Tunisia.
