Following an annual growth of 3.7% in real terms in 2025, the growth in Tunisia’s construction industry is expected to decelerate marginally to 0.6% in 2026, owing to weak real estate activity and delay in projects execution due to bureaucratic bottlenecks. As of June 2026, major projects such as the 350km Tunis-Sfax High-Speed Rail and expansions at Tunis-Carthage International Airport are delayed due to bureaucratic hurdles, prolonged feasibility studies, and complex financing. Furthermore, financing constraints, subdued investment activity, and limited access to external funding are expected to restrict the pace of construction activity during 2026. To combat this inaction, the government is overhauling its monitoring, prioritizing delivery, and fast-tracking regional hospital and road developments. In late June 2026, the Tunisian Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Sarra Zaafrani Zenzri, approved new measures to accelerate national development projects, focusing on digital monitoring, streamlined procurement, and improved project readiness.
Over the remainder of the forecast period, the Tunisian construction industry is projected to record an annual average growth rate of 2.8% between 2027 and 2029, supported by investment in road and airport infrastructure, electricity transmission networks, renewable energy projects, and education infrastructure development. In June 2026, Tunisia secured a new TND1.6 billion ($500 million) loan from African Export–Import Bank (Afreximbank) to fund essential imports like fuel, food, and fertilizers while boosting its foreign currency reserves. Signed in Cairo, this deal brings Afreximbank's total support for Tunisia to TND3.8 billion ($1.2 billion), helping the country manage a widening trade deficit and heavy energy costs despite a tourism-driven rise in reserves to over 100 days of import cover.
