Foreign currency inflows into Tunisia continue to rise in early 2026, driven by transfers from Tunisians residing abroad and tourism revenues. These sources are crucial for supporting the country's external balance, according to recent figures from the Central Bank of Tunisia BCT. Transfers from the Tunisian diaspora reached nearly 2.4 billion dinars by April 10, 2026, an increase of 5.89% compared to 2.26 billion dinars during the same period in 2025. Tourism revenues also grew, albeit more moderately, reaching 1.62 billion dinars by April 10, 2026, up from 1.55 billion dinars a year prior, marking a 4.31% increase. Combined, these two sectors generated 4.02 billion dinars by April 10, 2026, a 5.25% increase from 3.82 billion dinars on the same date in 2025. In 2025, these sources collectively brought in 16.86 billion dinars, compared to 15.86 billion dinars in 2024, representing an annual increase of 996.2 million dinars 6.28%, underscoring their central role in balancing the nation's external finances.
