My press – international follow-up
All eyes are onTunisiaTo the accelerating economic repercussions of the military tensions linked to Iran, amid warnings of direct repercussions on financial balances, in light ofHigh energy pricesA number of hard currency sources declined, which may force a review of public spending options during 2026.
The data indicate that there is a remarkable increase inOil pricesIt confuses the assumptions on which the budget was based, especially since the approved reference price is much lower than the currently recorded levels, which portends an inflation in the cost of support and a widening of the fiscal deficit.
In the same context, inflationary pressures are expected to increase due to the rise inEnergy pricesAnd basic materials, which may prompt the monetary authorities to tighten their policy by raising interest rates, in an attempt to contain inflation, despite its impact on investment and growth.
It is also expected that the repercussions will include vital sectors, including tourism and remittances from Tunisians abroad, as these incomes are likely to decline as a result of the deterioration in purchasing power in international markets, which may have a negative impact on the balance of payments and foreign exchange reserves.
In light of this situation, the government’s options seem limited, as it may be forced to rearrange its financial priorities, by postponing some projects or reducing expenditures, in addition to the possibility of reviewing fuel prices or postponing social obligations, in light of a delicate balance between financial and social stability.
Observers believe that the authorities will move to prepare a supplementary budget if these pressures continue, especially with the possibility of additional increases in oil prices, which will affect the cost of imports and the prices of a number of consumer items.
On the other hand, experts call for adopting a proactive approach based on diversifying energy partnerships, enhancing storage capabilities, activating protection mechanisms against price fluctuations, in addition to establishing an economic vigilance mechanism capable of rapid interaction with international changes.
