Túnez Tasa De Interés

The Central Bank of Tunisia maintained its key interest rate at 8% on December 28, 2024, the highest level since at least 2006. The decision came amid easing inflation and was consistent with the inflation outlook. Inflation slowed slightly in November to 6.6%, marking the lowest rate since December 2021 due to a slowdown in food and transport prices. Meanwhile, the economy grew 1.8% year-on-year in Q3 of 2024, accelerating from a 1% expansion in the previous quarter, marking the highest growth since Q3 of 2022, mainly boosted by agriculture, forestry & fishing. Inflation is expected to average 7% this year before declining to 6.2% in 2025, the bank said in a statement.
