According to financial analyst Bassam Neifer, Tunisia will have better flexibility in 2027 compared to the previous three years, particularly in terms of reduced debt repayment pressures. Neifer made these comments in an interview with the Tunisian Africa News Agency. He noted that the country's 2027 financial law and budget preparation comes after a challenging year, especially in terms of managing the impact of regional geopolitical developments.

The developments had a significant impact on fuel prices, which negatively affected Tunisia's fuel subsidy bill. Neifer stated that preparing the 2027 financial law and budget is part of the goal-based budget, which is prepared every three years. This allows for a new cycle to begin for the next three years, from 2027 to 2029. The 2027 budget is expected to set the stage for the country's financial plans in the coming years.

The 2027 financial law and budget are also aligned with the implementation of the second year of the 2026-2030 five-year development plan. Neifer mentioned that the new budget will include programs and projects outlined in the development plan. This alignment aims to ensure that the country's financial plans are integrated with its broader development goals.

The analyst highlighted that the past year has been challenging for Tunisia due to regional geopolitical developments. These developments have had far-reaching impacts on the country's economy, particularly in terms of fuel prices and subsidy bills. The 2027 financial law and budget aim to address these challenges and provide a more stable financial framework for the country.

Neifer's comments come as Tunisia prepares for the implementation of its 2027 financial law and budget. The country's financial plans are expected to focus on managing debt repayment pressures and promoting economic growth. The government aims to create a more stable financial environment, which will help to attract investment and promote economic development.
