The declared investments in Tunisia have recorded a remarkable progression in 2025, reaching 8.36 billion dinars, which represents a 39.3% increase compared to the previous year, according to the 2025 Annual Bulletin of the Tunisia Investment Authority (TIA). These investments are expected to create more than 101,000 jobs, confirming the dynamics of the Tunisian economy and its growing attractiveness to national and international investors.
Sidi Bouzid Leads Tunisian Regions
The geographical distribution of investments shows a notable concentration in certain governorates.

The following governorates, Nabeul, Gafsa, Sfax, Ben Arous, Zaghouan, Kairouan, and Jendouba, together account for more than 70% of the declared investments. These figures illustrate the importance of the central and southern regions in the economic recovery, while highlighting the strategic role of less developed areas, particularly for renewable energy projects.
Analysis by District
The analysis by district confirms this hierarchy. The second district, which includes Ariana, Ben Arous, Manouba, Nabeul, Tunis, and Zaghouan, accounts for nearly 32% of the declared investments.

The southern and northwestern districts, which include Kébili, Médenine, Gabès, Tataouine, and Bizerte, Béja, Jendouba, Le Kef, capture 13% and 11% of the total investments, respectively. This distribution demonstrates a balance between large metropolitan areas and peripheral zones, and highlights the growing interest in regional development.
