The event began with an intervention by Myoung Chul JANG, Director General of KOTRA Alger (Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency), who presented the key lines of Korea's investment strategy. He highlighted priority areas for cooperation with Tunisia, including green technologies, the automotive industry, renewable energy, and creative industries, particularly the gaming sector. This contribution paved the way for identifying concrete opportunities to strengthen commercial exchanges and bilateral direct investments.
TIA Presents 2024 Investment Policy Evaluation Report
The TIA team then presented a draft of the 2024 investment policy evaluation. This report is founded on an international comparative analysis, feedback from public and private stakeholders, an econometric study of the incentive system, and a perception survey to identify the main risks faced by investors.
Challenges and Recommendations
The report highlights several structural challenges, including administrative complexity, authorization procedures, access to land, and the effectiveness of incentive devices. It also provides an assessment of the efforts made in 2024.
In response to these findings, the TIA formulated several recommendations, including:
- Administrative simplification through tacit authorization and digitalization of procedures
- Targeted revision of tax incentives
- Development of economic zones specialized in creative sectors, such as cinema and video games
Deepening Reflection on Economic Attractiveness
The subsequent exchanges allowed for a deeper reflection on the implications of these proposals for Tunisia's economic attractiveness. This session is part of a dynamic to strengthen the national strategy to attract more investments.
