An EU delegation to Tunisia, led by Thistyr Beranger, Head of the Trade Section, participated in a meeting at the headquarters of FIPA Tunisia ( Foreign Investment Promotion Agency) in the presence of officials from the Ministry of Economy and Planning. The session aimed to consolidate institutional relations between the three parties.
The meeting was opened by Jalel Tebib, Director General of FIPA Tunisia, who outlined the agency’s mission, Tunisia’s investment landscape, and identified opportunities in high value-added sectors. Mohamed Ben Abid, Director General for Monitoring and Evaluating Business Climate Reforms, then delivered a presentation on reforms related to foreign direct investment (FDI).
A discussion segment addressed the Tunisian legal framework for investment, upcoming strategic directions, and proposed mechanisms to enhance cooperation between Tunisia and the European Union. Talks also covered future programs and potential levers to improve the effectiveness of the existing partnership. The event concluded with an informal exchange among participants focused on key actions planned for 2026.
During the discussions, participants noted that Tunisia has been a privileged partner for the EU since 2012, with the EU holding the largest share of foreign direct investment in the country.
To date, 3,507 European companies are established in Tunisia, generating a total turnover of 21,445 million Tunisian dinars and supporting 442,847 jobs. In the first nine months of 2025 alone, 686 new enterprises were created. Investments in Tunisia originate from all 27 EU member states.
