Tunisia Maintains Economic Stability Amid Global Uncertainty
During the meeting of the Central Bank Governors and Finance Ministers of the MENAP region (Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan), held on the sidelines of the World Bank and IMF annual meetings (October 14-18, 2025), the Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT), Fethi Zouheir Nouri, highlighted Tunisia's ability to maintain the stability of its national economy despite uncertain global circumstances.
A Strategic Choice for Autonomy and National Responsibility
In the face of international inflationary pressures and market volatility, Nouri emphasized that Tunisia has made a strategic choice for a path of autonomy and national responsibility, convinced that "lasting stability is built from within, through budget discipline, consistency of public policies, and institutional trust." This approach, he explained, has enabled the country to honor its external commitments and consolidate its financial balances.
The Central Role of Monetary Policy
The Governor highlighted the central role of monetary policy in anchoring inflation expectations and stabilizing the dinar against major currencies. This solidity has been reflected, among other things, by the improvement of Tunisia's sovereign rating and the maintenance of foreign exchange reserves, testifying to the resilience of the Tunisian financial system.
Resilience in the Face of Crises
"Recurring crises have not weakened Tunisia, but have made it stronger and more immune," he stated, praising the joint efforts of national institutions in preserving macroeconomic stability.
Strengthening Economic and Financial Partnerships
On the sidelines of this international meeting, Fethi Zouheir Nouri also held talks with the Director-General of the Arab Monetary Fund, Dr. Fahd Ben Mohamed Al Turki, the Governor of the Central Bank of Comoros, Dr. Younoussa Imani, as well as a group of international investors, thus confirming Tunisia's willingness to strengthen its economic and financial partnerships.
