Tunis Stock Exchange Breaks the 15,000‑Point Barrier for the First Time in Its History
The Tunis Stock Exchange (Bourse de Tunis) has surpassed the 15,000‑point mark, a historic milestone for its flagship index, the Tunindex. This achievement comes amid a continuous rally since the start of 2026, with the index up more than 12 % year‑to‑date, driven by strong trading volumes and growing investor interest in equities.
Why the Index Is Soaring
According to financial expert Moez Hdidane, the surge is the result of several converging factors:
| Factor | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Lower risk premium | A reduced risk premium on the market has made equities more attractive. |
| Overall confidence | A broad climate of confidence among investors is fueling buying pressure. |
| Shift to financial products | Investors are increasingly favoring financial instruments over traditional savings products. |
During an interview on Express FM, Hdidane highlighted additional catalysts:
- New fiscal structures – Initiatives such as the TAJ scheme are steering capital toward the stock market.
- Social‑impact investment funds – Growing importance of funds with a social mission is adding depth to market participation.
- Rise in new savings accounts – A wave of individuals opening savings accounts since the beginning of the year has supplied fresh liquidity to support market dynamics.
Sectoral Drivers Behind the Tunindex’s Performance
A sector‑by‑sector breakdown shows that three key industries are responsible for the bulk of the index’s gains:
| Sector | Contribution to Overall Gain |
|---|---|
| Banking | +6.5 % |
| Food industry | ≈ +3 % |
| Automobile dealers | ≈ +1 % |
Together, these three sectors account for nearly 80 % of the Tunindex’s year‑to‑date increase.
