Tunisia Gross Savings
Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS
Tunisia's gross savings was 8.98% in 2025, ranked 150th globally. This represents a 63.3% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1976–2025.
Overview
Tunisia's gross savings stood at 8.98% in 2025, a rise of +3.48% from 2024. The IMF projects 8.98% by 2025. Tunisia ranked 150th globally.
Tunisia’s gross savings rate has declined sharply over the past five decades, falling from an early‑period high of 25.82 % in 1976 to an all‑time peak of 27.42 % in 1979 before reaching a historic trough of 4.88 % in 2023. By 2025 the rate had modestly recovered to 8.98 %, placing the country at 150th in the world ranking. This trajectory contrasts with the modestly higher figure recorded for South Sudan (9.78 %) and the slightly lower rate of Montenegro (7.60 %) in the same year, underscoring Tunisia’s relative weakness in mobilising domestic resources for investment. The prolonged downward swing reflects persistent current‑account deficits, fiscal pressures and limited private‑sector savings, while the recent uptick suggests that policy measures aimed at improving fiscal balances and encouraging household saving may be taking effect. Continued reforms that strengthen financial intermediation and boost income growth will be crucial for sustaining the nascent recovery and preventing a return to the low‑saving environment of the early 2020s.
