Tunisia's Foreign Exchange Reserves Remain Stable
As of October 14, 2025, Tunisia's net foreign exchange reserves stood at 24.6 billion dinars, covering 105 days of imports. Although this level represents a slight decrease of 0.8% compared to the same period in 2024, it is considered reassuring according to data published by the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT).
Key Factors Contributing to Stability
This relative stability is supported by two main factors:
- Remittances from abroad: Income from work, particularly transfers from Tunisians living abroad, increased by 7.8%, reaching 6.7 billion dinars between January 1 and October 10, 2025.
- Tourism revenue: Tourist receipts also saw a 7.9% increase, reaching 6.5 billion dinars over the same period.
Additional Positive Indicator
Another positive indicator is the decline in external debt service, which decreased by 11.9%, from 12.2 billion dinars (as of October 10, 2024) to 10.8 billion dinars currently.
Monetary Circulation on the Rise
In contrast, the money supply in circulation continues to increase. Banknotes and coins in circulation rose by 15.2%, reaching 25.3 billion dinars as of October 13, 2025, compared to 22 billion dinars a year earlier.
