Fitch Ratings has granted Tunisia a positive outlook in its latest report, marking a new and clear international recognition of the government’s serious efforts to reform an economy suffering from chronic structural pressures.
The agency upgraded Tunisia’s long-term foreign and local currency credit ratings from “CCC+” to “B+” with a stable outlook.
Fitch projected the general budget deficit to rise to 2.2 percent of GDP this year and 2.8 percent in 2027, up from 1.5 percent recorded at the end of last year. Meanwhile, foreign direct investment inflows are expected to recover for the full year, after growing 54 percent year-on-year in the first half of 2025, with continued payments projected for the period between 2025 and 2027.
