These measures were revealed by Economy and Planning Minister Féryel Ouerghi during the opening of the 21st edition of the Tunisia Investment Forum (TIF) 2024, organized in partnership with the European Union (EU).
New Initiatives to Attract Investment
One of the key initiatives introduced is the development of a new investor portal designed to streamline the investment process. Minister Ouerghi emphasized that this digital platform will facilitate faster investment flows and provide solutions to existing challenges, making Tunisia a more attractive destination for large-scale projects.
“Tunisia has significant potential to host major projects,” Ouerghi stated. “The investor portal is a critical advancement in our efforts to improve the business climate and draw foreign investment.”
Strengthening EU Partnerships
The forum saw substantial participation from European diplomats and business leaders, including EU Ambassador to Tunisia Marcus Cornaro. This engagement highlights the strong economic ties and mutual trust between Tunisia and the EU.
“Tunisia is committed to deepening its strategic partnership with the EU,” Ouerghi said. “This forum serves as a platform to enhance our cooperation and explore new investment opportunities.”
Addressing Economic Challenges
Minister Ouerghi also addressed the broader economic context, acknowledging the challenges posed by global economic disruptions and climate change. She underscored the government’s commitment to building a resilient and diversified economy that integrates into the global value chain.
“Our reforms aim to create a cohesive and robust economic framework capable of withstanding global pressures,” she noted.
Optimistic Future
The 21st edition of TIF 2024 represents a significant milestone for Tunisia’s economic ambitions. The government’s proactive approach, coupled with the promising potential of the Tunisian market, has generated optimism among investors and stakeholders.
With these reforms, Tunisia aims to enhance its position in the global economy and leverage its partnership with the EU to drive sustainable growth. The collaborative efforts showcased at TIF 2024 reflect a shared commitment to economic progress and mutual prosperity.
