The Tunisian Investment Authority (CTIA) has observed a decline in the volume of capital flows declared during the past year, although the industry continued to dominate the growing sectors of its business.
According to the authority's data, investment in all sectors fell by 15.7 percent year-on-year, reaching 6 billion dinars ($1.9 billion). This decline was mainly due to a decline in authorized investments in the services sectors by 57.6 percent and renewable energies by 54.3 percent.
The decline resulted in 4.3 percent fewer jobs than a year earlier, bringing the number of jobs to more than 88,300 thousand.
