Tunisia's Tourist Revenue and Foreign Exchange Reserves Show Positive Trend
As of late February 2026, Tunisia has recorded 1,029.1 million Tunisian dinars (Mtnd) in tourist revenue. According to the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT), this represents an increase of 47.1 Mtnd compared to the same period in 2025. The progression is real and ongoing.
The summer season has not yet begun, and the current figures only cover the first two months of the year. However, the trend remains encouraging.
Foreign Exchange Reserves Strengthen
The BCT's net foreign exchange assets reached 25,184 Mtnd as of March 6, 2026. This time last year, they stood at 23,248.7 Mtnd, representing a yearly gain of +1,935.3 Mtnd.
In terms of import coverage, the reserves can cover 106 days of imports, up from 102 days in 2025. This threshold is an indicator of external stability, and the higher it is, the more maneuvering room the country has.
Key Takeaways
Both indicators have progressed compared to 2025. Tourist revenue is fueling foreign exchange inflows, and reserves comfortably cover more than three months of imports. The BCT notes that the current data remains provisional.
