Foreign Direct Investment Flows to Tunisia Surge Over 30% in 2025
The foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to Tunisia have risen sharply in 2025, posting an increase of more than 30 % for the full year.
These figures, shared by the Czech Republic Embassy in Tunis and based on data released by the Tunisian Investment Authority (TIA) and the Foreign Investment Promotion Agency (FIPA), confirm a favourable shift of international capital toward the country.
Industry Remains the Main Magnet for FDI
- The industrial sector accounts for the bulk of the inflows, representing over 62 % of total recorded amounts and staying the top destination for foreign investment.
- A large share of the transactions involves expansions of already‑operating sites, indicating that investors prefer to strengthen their existing footholds in Tunisia.
Agriculture Shows Remarkable Growth
- Although agriculture’s overall share of FDI remains modest, the amounts invested have more than tripled within a single year.
- Projects financed by foreign capital in this sector have also generated employment at a level more than ten times higher than in the previous period.
