Application of the Law on Importing One Car per Family in Tunisia
The president of the 'Alert' organization, Luey Chaabbi, stated during his radio appearance on Saturday that the application of the law regarding the importation of one car per family is linked to the publication of implementation decrees, after the approval of the 2026 finance bill by both houses of Parliament.
Chaabbi indicated that a car has become a necessity for Tunisian citizens, given the public transportation system is deemed inferior to expectations. He emphasized the importance of acting according to a strategic vision within a comprehensive approach to support citizen mobility and, consequently, encourage production.
The president of the 'Alert' organization revealed that 73% of car importers in Tunisia control 78% of financial leasing and 73% of the insurance sector, adding that one-third of net profits go to the same person, according to his statement.
He added that the net profit margin of car importers in Tunisia ranges from 15% to 20%, while the profit margin for automobile manufacturers varies between 5% and 8%.
