Tunisia’s Central Bank (BCT) forecasts economic growth of 3.2 percent in 2025, driven largely by a rebound in tourism, stronger agricultural performance, and a long-awaited recovery in phosphate production.
According to the Bank’s projections, industrial output is expected to expand by 3.3 percent, supported by the government’s recent pledge of €164 million in new investments for the phosphate sector.
The government’s strategy aims to boost annual phosphate production to 8.5 million tons next year, with a target of reaching 14 million tons by 2030. Officials hope the plan will help Tunisia restore its status as one of the world’s top exporters after years of disruptions in the mining basin caused by social unrest and operational halts.
