April 29, 2026
President of the Republic of Tunisia received a report from the Minister of Economy and Planning and the Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) on the results of the country's participation in the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group (WBG).
Reaffirming Tunisia's Sovereignty
The meeting provided an opportunity for the Head of State to reaffirm Tunisia's commitment to the path of sovereignty and self-reliance, which has already shown positive and encouraging signs in most socio-economic sectors. The inflation parameters are increasingly under control, and growth indicators have significantly improved, as reported by various national and international financial institutions.
Emphasis on Concrete Results
While welcoming these new developments, President Kaïs Saïed emphasized the need to translate and reflect these new performances in a concrete way on the reality and daily life of citizens, particularly in areas of proximity such as healthcare, transportation, education, and social protection.
Sovereignty and Independence
In line with his approach and determination to respect the independence of decision-making and the sovereignty of the country, the President stressed that Tunisia "will not submit to any external injunction or pressure." This position is in line with the country's discourse on national sovereignty in the face of international financial partners.
Fostering National Resilience
The President also criticized the defeatist views of certain lobbies that launch unjustified criticisms and anticipate supposed failures. He highlighted the people's determination to move forward, which has been demonstrated by their cohesion and awareness, and has effectively debunked these alarmist voices, proving the nation's resilience despite the challenging global economic context.
Ongoing Efforts
This new meeting with key economic and financial stakeholders confirms the President's close interest in closely monitoring the various files related to Tunisia's relations with international partners, without neglecting current affairs, including the ongoing development of the 2026-2030 Development Plan and the preparation of the 2026 Finance Law.
Conclusion
Tunisia, through the voice of its President, is determined to resist any external diktat and continue to rely on its own means to honor its commitments without resorting to foreign debt, reflecting the will of the Tunisian people, the sole holder of sovereignty.
