As of October 10, 2025, remittances from Tunisians residing abroad (TRE) have reached a total of 6.768 billion dinars, marking a notable increase of 7.9% compared to the 6.275 billion dinars recorded during the same period in 2024. This steady rise reflects the continued support of the Tunisian diaspora to the national economy.
Simultaneously, tourism revenues have also posted strong growth. According to data released by the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT), receipts from the tourism sector climbed from 6.033 billion dinars as of October 10, 2024, to 6.514 billion dinars by the same date in 2025 — an increase of 8%, signaling a robust recovery and sustained international interest in Tunisia as a travel destination.
However, the country continues to face a significant financial challenge in the form of external debt servicing, which totaled 10.817 billion dinars by October 10, 2025. Despite this pressure, the increase in remittance inflows and tourism earnings has been pivotal in reinforcing Tunisia’s foreign currency reserves.

By October 14, 2025, these reserves had climbed to 24.661 billion dinars, equating to 105 days of import coverage, a level considered critical for macroeconomic stability. The combined growth in remittances and tourism revenue has not only offset some of the strain from external debt repayments but also contributed to stabilizing Tunisia’s economy. This financial buffer helps the country navigate global economic fluctuations while preserving essential reserves and maintaining investor confidence.
