Arabic version: تونس تعرض ميزانية 2027 والأولويات الاقتصادية
According to Allafrica, Tunisia is seeking to build a sustainable, competitive and more productive economy capable of creating wealth, Prime Minister Sarra Zaafrani Zenzri said on November 9 while presenting the government’s report on the 2027 draft State Budget and Economic Budget.
Speaking at a joint plenary session of the Assembly of People’s Representatives and the National Council of Regions and Districts, Zenzri said the drafts reflected national priorities under the directives of President Kais Saied. She said the objective was to secure regional balance, encourage decent employment and safeguard Tunisians’ dignity.
The prime minister said the draft Economic Budget, draft State Budget and draft Finance Law conform to the broad guidelines of the 2026-2030 Development Plan. Their preparation follows a comprehensive approach centred on public and private investment, a stronger social role for the state and greater economic inclusion.
The approach includes continued support for health, education, transport and housing, alongside strategic priorities for food, water and energy security and environmental protection. It also provides for support for public enterprises, tax justice and the integration of the informal sector into the formal economy.
Zenzri said the 2027 State Budget is estimated at TND 82,402 million, a 3.6% increase from projected 2026 figures. The funds are intended to finance development priorities, continue reforms, advance planned projects and strengthen the state’s ability to address economic and social challenges.
