Overview
Tunisia's credit to gdp stood at 59.53% in 2025, a decline of +1.09% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 59.53% by 2025. Tunisia ranked 48th globally.
Tunisia’s credit to GDP ratio has risen steadily over the 65‑year series, moving from a trough of 21.82 in 1961 to an all‑time peak of 67.66 in 2020 before slipping slightly to 59.53 in 2025, placing the country 48th in the world. The post‑2011 reform agenda and gradual expansion of domestic banking contributed to the long‑term upward trajectory, while the modest decline after 2020 reflects tighter fiscal conditions and external debt pressures that limited new lending. Tunisia’s 2025 figure is closely aligned with peer economies such as the Slovak Republic at 59.03 and slightly below Mauritius at 60.55, suggesting a convergence with middle‑income credit profiles in the Mediterranean and African regions. Continued improvement will depend on sustaining macro‑economic stability, deepening financial sector reforms, and attracting private investment, which could restore the upward momentum observed before the 2020 peak.
