The Tunisian exports to Africa are expected to reach 13 billion dinars by 2030, according to Anis Jaziri, head of the Tunisian-African Business Council. This projection is based on the current growth trend and the increasing demand in the African market. Jaziri emphasized that achieving this goal requires a collective effort from the government, private sector, and civil society.
Jaziri stated that the African market offers significant opportunities for Tunisian businesses, with growing demand and a dynamic economy. He highlighted that the Tunisian-African Business Council has been exploring markets in West, Central, and East Africa over the past decade, targeting 44 countries out of 55. The council plans to explore the remaining markets in the next five years, with three business missions per year to promising countries.
Currently, Tunisia's exports to Africa stand at 6.5 billion dinars, accounting for 10% of the country's total trade. However, exports to sub-Saharan Africa are relatively low, at 1.6 billion dinars, or 3% of Tunisia's external trade. Jaziri stressed that there is room for growth and that the council aims to increase trade with Africa, leveraging Tunisia's expertise and skills.
The Tunisian-African Business Council has been working to promote trade and investment between Tunisia and Africa. Jaziri noted that the council's efforts have contributed to the growth of Tunisian exports to Africa. He expressed optimism about the future of trade relations between Tunisia and Africa, citing the continent's economic potential and growing demand for goods and services.
To achieve the goal of 13 billion dinars in exports to Africa by 2030, Jaziri emphasized the need for coordination among various stakeholders, including ministries, the private sector, and professional organizations. He also highlighted the importance of developing Tunisia's export capacity and improving the competitiveness of Tunisian businesses.
The growth of Tunisian exports to Africa is expected to have a positive impact on the country's economy. Jaziri noted that increased trade with Africa could create new job opportunities and stimulate economic growth in Tunisia. He also emphasized the need for Tunisian businesses to adapt to the changing economic landscape and take advantage of emerging opportunities in Africa.
In conclusion, Tunisia's exports to Africa are expected to reach 13 billion dinars by 2030, driven by government and private sector cooperation. The Tunisian-African Business Council will continue to play a key role in promoting trade and investment between Tunisia and Africa. With a growing demand for goods and services in Africa, Tunisian businesses are well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities and increase their exports to the continent.
