Foreign exchange reserves surpassed 25.4 billion dinars as of March 13, 2026, equal to 107 days of imports, compared with 23.2 billion dinars (equal to 102 days of imports) on the same date in 2025. This is what emerges from the monetary and financial indicators published yesterday, Friday, by the Central Bank of Tunisia.
The rise in foreign exchange reserves is notably explained by the increase in labor income, up 6%, reaching 1.7 billion dinars, as well as by the rise in tourism receipts, up 4.8%, standing at 1.1 billion dinars since the start of the year through March 10, 2026.
As for the external debt service, it stood at 1.3 billion dinars as of March 10, 2026.
Central Bank of Tunisia statistics also show a rise of 11.2% in the total volume of interbank transactions, moving from 3.3 billion dinars on March 13, 2025 to 3.7 billion dinars currently.
By contrast, the total volume of refinancing approached 11 billion dinars as of March 13, 2026, compared with 13.3 billion dinars a year earlier, representing a decline of 18%.
