At the end of the first quarter of 2026, Tunisia’s trade deficit slightly widened by 3.62% compared to the same period in 2025, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics (INS) based in Tunis.<\/p>\n

“This deficit comes from the group of energy products of -2.990 billion dinars, raw materials and semi-finished products of -1.601 billion dinars, capital goods of -977 million dinars and consumer goods of -462.2 million dinars,” explains the INS in its External Trade Note at current prices.

Furthermore, exports decreased in the mines, phosphates and derivatives sector by -20.3% and the textile, clothing and leather sector by -5%.<\/p>\n

Exports increased with France (+10.6%), Italy (+4%) and Germany (+3.3%). However, they decreased with some European partners, including the Netherlands (-15.9%) and Greece (-29.8%).<\/p>\n

As for imports, they reached the level of 21.499 billion dinars compared to 20.374 billion dinars during the same period in 2025, representing a 5.5% increase.<\/p>\n

At this level, the INS reports that according to the grouping of products, imports increased in all groups, especially food products by +13.9%, capital goods by +5.3%, energy products by +4.2%, consumer goods by +4.9% and raw materials and semi-finished products by +4.5%.<\/p>\n
