Tunisia's minister of investment talks to fDi about the country’s digitalisation plans, its strengths in ICT and its ambitions to generate 1000 start-ups. 

The governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia explains how the country is diversifying the FDI it attracts.

Consolidating a delicate transition to democracy, Tunisia is looking forward with renewed optimism, industry and SMEs minister Slim Feriani tells fDi. 

Tunisia appears to be recovering from 2015’s terrorist attacks, in terms of both tourist numbers and foreign investment.

The terrorist attacks in the Tunisian resort of Sousse in mid-2015 dealt a bitter blow to the country's image, hitting its all-important tourism income. Such acts, combined with wider regional unrest, make FDI more important than ever to Tunisia, a fact not lost on its politicians, as Natasha Turak discovers.

The Arab Spring protests, and the months of political instability that followed, slowed FDI inflows into north Africa. But rather than pulling out of the region entirely, many investors simply put their projects on hold or moved into other more stable economies such as Morocco and Algeria.
