The Tunisia Investment Authority (TIA) announced that the country has experienced a substantial increase in declared investments, rising by 41.5 percent compared with the same period last year. Over the first nine months of the current year, total investment declarations climbed to roughly 5.97 billion Tunisian dinars, an amount equal to nearly USD 2 billion.
In its report, the TIA explained that this robust growth is primarily the result of three large renewable energy projects approved in September. Together, these initiatives account for 1.08 billion dinars, making them a central factor in the overall surge. The scale and strategic importance of these energy ventures have significantly influenced the national investment climate, bolstering Tunisia’s transition toward cleaner and more sustainable power sources.
The report also underscored strong gains in projected job creation. The newly announced investments are expected to generate around 74,111 jobs, reflecting a 17.8 percent increase over the employment projections recorded during the same period in 2024. This upward trend suggests that Tunisia’s expanding investment base is not only stimulating economic activity but also delivering meaningful employment opportunities across multiple fields.
