Monday, December 1, 2025: Assembly Rejects Interest-Free "Marriage Assistance" Loan Proposal

On Monday, December 1, 2025, the Assembly of People's Representatives rejected the proposal for an interest-free "Marriage Assistance" loan during a plenary session dedicated to examining certain proposals from deputies as part of the 2026 finance bill project.

Voting Results

The vote recorded 26 votes in favor, 6 abstentions, and 87 votes against, out of a total of 119 voters.

Proposal Details

The proposal aimed to create a social financing line that would allow young people between 18 and 35 years old to benefit from a single, interest-free loan of up to 30,000 dinars, with a six-month grace period. According to its promoters, this measure would have helped reduce the costs associated with marriage, support family stability, and contribute to demographic balance.
