Overview
Tunisia's domestic credit stood at 100.75% in 2025, a rise of +1.18% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.75% by 2025. Tunisia ranked 11th globally.
Tunisia’s domestic credit to private sector as a percentage of GDP reached 100.75 in 2025, marking its highest level on record and placing it 11th globally, according to World Bank data spanning 51 years. This peak follows a long-term expansion from a low of 40.60 in 1972, reflecting gradual financial deepening over five decades. The 2025 figure surpasses the level of peer country South Africa, which recorded 99.31, and falls slightly below Namibia’s 106.88, indicating Tunisia’s relatively strong credit market development in comparison to selected middle-income economies. While the upward trend since the early 1970s suggests increasing access to financial resources for businesses and households, the stability of this trajectory depends on macroeconomic policies, banking sector resilience, and broader structural reforms. Sustained growth in domestic credit will require continued confidence in the financial system and effective allocation of credit to productive sectors, particularly amid external financing constraints and inflationary pressures. Absent improvements in governance and investment climate, the current expansion may face headwinds in the coming decade.
