The annual inflation rate in Tunisia eased to 5.6% in April 2025, down from 5.9% in March, marking the lowest level since May 2021, the National Institute of Statistics (INS) revealed on Monday
The slowdown was primarily driven by softer price increases in food and non-alcoholic beverages (7.3% vs. 7.8%), clothing and footwear (9.4% vs. 11.7%), and household contents, equipment, and maintenance (5.4% vs. 5.5%).
In contrast, inflation in housing and utilities held steady at 3.2%, while transportation costs edged up to 3.5% from 3.2%, the same source added.
On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.6% in April, following a sharp 2% increase in March.
