Tunisia Investment Authority (TIA) held the 25th session of its Strategic Council on Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2026, focusing on Hungary’s model for attracting investment and Tunisia’s potential in critical minerals as global demand for those resources rises. The session was chaired by Jalel Tebib.
In the second part of the meeting, TIA’s Investment Policy and Reforms Unit presented the agency’s third strategic analysis brief, titled “Critical Minerals: Investment Potential, State of Play and Prospects for Tunisia.”
The brief examines Tunisia’s investment potential amid growing worldwide demand for critical minerals, particularly phosphate, lithium and copper. It offers a diagnosis of the sector and outlines prospects for Tunisia, drawing on comparative experiences with reforms and public policies.
According to TIA, the document is based on expert consultations and exchanges with Strategic Council members. It also assesses the potential impact of the sector on other priority industries, including automotive and artificial intelligence.
Discussions following the presentation focused on the brief’s conclusions. Council members and experts stressed the need to accelerate structural reforms and strengthen the attractiveness of the regulatory framework for investments in mining resources.
The first part of the session was dedicated to feedback from the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA) on Hungary’s investment attractiveness.
Marcell Németh, HIPA deputy director general, presented the main features of the Hungarian system. Martina Almási, Partner Relations Manager in the CEO’s office, then detailed its operational workings and the reforms that helped improve Hungary’s investment climate. Discussions focused on levers that could strengthen Tunisia’s competitiveness.
