Written by: Adel Khelifi on June 4, 2026

The Central Bank of Tunisia announced, this Wednesday, that it kept its key policy rate unchanged at 7%.

In a statement published on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, the BCT indicated that inflationary pressures resulting from external factors have intensified in recent times, estimating that these developments should feed into domestic price formation and push inflation higher in the period to come.

The Central Bank stressed that the high and exceptional level of uncertainty characterizing the current economic environment requires adopting a prudent monetary policy, in order to help preserve price stability, contain inflation expectations, and strengthen the resilience of economic balances.
