Tunisia has initiated a series of economic and legislative processes regarding its national finances. The government first outlined 2027 budget priorities focused on modernizing the financial system, diversifying funding, and strengthening the banking and insurance sectors to support SMEs and national savings.

Following these announcements, the draft 2027 Finance Law underwent examination by the National Council of Regions and Districts and the Assembly of the Representatives of the People. During joint sessions, Minister of Finance Michket Slama Khaldi presented the budget, which faced criticism from deputies. Legislators raised concerns regarding a projected deficit, the profitability of public enterprises, and rising national debt, arguing that the draft lacks a clear strategy for investment and combating unemployment.
