Data issued by Tunisia’s National Institute of Statistics showed that the country’s trade deficit increased by 24 percent in the first half of 2025, reaching $3.4 billion, reflecting the ongoing economic pressures facing the country.
According to the data, this increase is mainly attributable to higher imports, which were valued at $14.36 billion, driven in particular by a 13 percent increase in energy imports. By contrast, exports remained sluggish, further widening the trade gap.
