In July 2026, Tunisia’s parliament approved a law to overhaul the National Council of Tunisians Residing Abroad, attaching the body to the government presidency, defining a new composition of elected deputies, diaspora representatives and ministry observers, and stipulating voluntary, unpaid service.

A month later, the prime minister chaired a restricted ministerial council to set the main orientations of the 2027 finance law. The roadmap links the budget to the 2026‑2030 development strategy and stresses high‑value sectors, food, water, energy and pharmaceutical security, digital transformation, public‑enterprise restructuring, health‑system reform, fiscal justice and gradual formalisation of the informal economy, echoing President Kaïs Saïed’s vision of a socially just state.

Together, the two steps illustrate a broader push by Tunisia’s executive and legislative branches to restructure institutions and align fiscal policy with a comprehensive reform agenda aimed at inclusive growth and state modernisation.
