Tunisia Attracts 1.929 Billion TND in International Investments in H1 2026
According to the latest data released by the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA), Tunisia attracted 1.929 billion Tunisian dinars (TND) in international investments during the first half of 2026. This represents an 11.5% year-on-year increase and a 41.7% rise compared to the same period in 2024, signaling a clear acceleration in foreign capital inflows.
Foreign Direct Investment Drives the Surge
The vast majority of these inflows stem from foreign direct investment (FDI), which reached 1.9118 billion TND. Sectoral distribution reveals a strong concentration in industry:
- Manufacturing: 72%
- Energy: 19%
- Services: 7.7%
- Agriculture: 1.3%
For businesses and investors, the key takeaway lies in this sectoral focus. Industry remains by far the primary anchor for foreign capital, while energy continues to play a significant role in new investment projects.
Portfolio Investments Show Strong Momentum
Another key metric to watch: portfolio investments surged by 81.3% year-on-year, reaching 17.7 million TND. Although this figure remains significantly lower than FDI, the sharp increase signals a renewed interest in Tunisian financial assets and suggests growing confidence in the country's capital markets.
Conclusion: Accelerating Capital Flows into Tunisia
Overall, H1 2026 figures demonstrate a clear acceleration of international capital flows into Tunisia, with particularly strong momentum in industrial and energy sectors. This trend underscores the country's growing appeal as a strategic investment destination in North Africa, offering targeted opportunities for global investors seeking exposure to manufacturing, renewable energy, and emerging market assets.
