The Minister of Economy is slowly acknowledging the completion of development projects

Minister of Economy and Planning Samir Abdul Hafez acknowledged before the People's Deputies, the Council of Regions and bodies at dawn on Saturday 14 November 2026 that the disruption of regional development programs is mainly due to the slow mobilisation of credits and the complexity of the field achievement coordinates. In his reply during the session, the Minister stressed that the real problem was not the lack of financial allocations for these projects in various regions.

The Minister announced preparations for the revision of the Investment Journal and the preparation of a dedicated digital national map of investment opportunities. It also disclosed the Ministry's follow-up to the settlement of difficulties that have hampered the progress of three major investment projects within the framework of the Appropriations Committee in order to boost the implementation of their agreements and accelerate their coordination.

He explained that the work of the ministry is based on improving economic performance and developing the national statistical system. The data point to a worsening trade deficit of 5090 million dinars in parallel with these developmental and economic challenges.

These clarifications are a follow-up to the resource mobilization procedures for major projects in the bodies where the Minister of Economy and Planning announced earlier that the Islamic Development Bank has agreed to finance an important part of the completion of the Tunisian road to Le Kef.
