Tunisia Interest Rate

Tunisia's key interest rate held steady at 7.5% in July 2025, matching the May 2025 level. This decision supports a decelerating inflation rate which was 5.4% in June 2025 and is expected to average 5.3% for the year. The Central Bank of Tunisia maintained the rate due to global economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions. Gradual growth recovery, driven by exports and domestic demand, also supports the current rate, balancing recovery with price stability. Tunisia's record low interest rate was 4.25% in January 2016 and record high was 8% in January 2023.
