Economic Balance Project Aims to Stabilize Prices and Protect Tunisians' Purchasing Power
The economic balance project forecasts an average inflation rate of 5.3% for the entire year 2026, aiming to stabilize prices and protect the purchasing power of Tunisians. The inflation rate for last October reached 4.9%, recording its lowest level since 2021. For the year 2025, the expected average rate is also estimated at 5.3%. The government intends, according to the project document, to maintain inflation at this level by pursuing targeted measures to control prices and support purchasing power. These measures include:
- Regular supply of the market with basic products
- Constitution of reserve stocks
- Strengthening surveillance to limit speculation and combat monopoly practices
- Better organization of distribution channels The project highlights that the improvement of agricultural production and the decrease in global prices of basic products should contribute to mitigating inflationary pressures. Finally, achieving these objectives relies on the consistency between economic and social policies and sectoral strategies, in order to optimize the effectiveness of measures and the use of available resources. ###
