Tunis Stock Exchange Reaches Milestone
The Tunis Stock Exchange has reached a symbolic milestone since the beginning of the year, with the total volume of transactions on the stock market exceeding 500 million Tunisian dinars (Mtnd). Compared to the same period in 2025, considered a prosperous year, the volume has doubled.
Excluding Block Transactions
If we exclude the effect of block transactions, which account for 71.616 Mtnd, regular transactions show an increase of 83.4% year-over-year, confirming a sustained and increased interest from investors in stocks.
Sectors Driving Growth
Several sectors are driving this growth, starting with:
- Banks: The banking sector is the locomotive of the market, with transactions totaling 160.704 Mtnd. This high liquidity is accompanied by an upward trend in stock prices. The sector's index has appreciated by 12.4% since the beginning of the year, reflecting investors' confidence in the financial sector's profitability.
- Distribution: The distribution sector, which includes large retailers and car dealerships, ranks second with 81.394 Mtnd in transactions. This figure reflects the importance of consumption and household equipment in the economy.
- Agro-Food and Beverages: The agro-food and beverages sector completes the top three, with 76.153 Mtnd in transactions. Its weight is due to the presence of flagship values in the Tunindex, such as PGH, Délice Holding, and SFBT. These titles, considered safe-haven values, continue to attract capital.
Outlook
As the annual results season, first-quarter 2026 figures, and dividend distribution approach, it is likely that this year will be exceptional in terms of volume. Exceeding the 2.5 billion dinar transaction threshold remains an ambitious but achievable goal.
