Tunisian and Algerian economic performance

Overview

Economic indicators in Tunisia and Algeria have shown varied trends throughout 2026. In Tunisia, the dinar demonstrated complex movement, remaining stable against the euro by late June 2026 while experiencing a 5.9% appreciation against the US dollar compared to the first half of 2025. Foreign exchange operations on the Tunisian spot market increased by 23.7% year-on-year by late June.

The Tunisian stock market, which saw the Tunindex rise 44.41% since the start of the year, entered a period of volatility and downward trends in late September, closing at 18,386.4 points after a 5.3% decline that month. In late September, the index faced selling pressure, including block trades involving SMART Tunisia that accounted for 90.40% of the main market's capitalization. Despite fluctuations and low trading volumes in late September, the Tunindex maintained a year-to-date advance of over 30%. Corporate performance remained mixed; while SFBT, BNA, and Amen Bank reported profit growth for the first half of 2026, others like Banque de l'Habitat reported declines. By late October, the Tunindex declined 1.2% for the week of October 19-23.

In Algeria, the dinar showed a slight strengthening against the euro toward the end of August 2026. On September 24, the euro was valued at 152.2883 dinars, down from 153.5240 dinars on September 18. However, the IMF noted on September 21 that the ‘parallel exchange rate premium has increased.’ Following a decline against the euro on October 16, the currency experienced further fluctuations. On October 20 and 21, 2026, the euro rose marginally to 151.1803 dinars on the official interbank market, while the US dollar remained stable at approximately 134.42 dinars. A significant gap persists in the parallel informal market; on October 20, the euro traded between 274 and 276.5 dinars.
