The Tunisian government's Industrial Rehabilitation Program has approved two investment files for industrial companies active in the fields of car and aircraft component manufacturing and metal canning. The investments are valued at 63 million dinars, with grants amounting to 9.5 million dinars. This decision was made during a meeting of the program's advisory committee, chaired by Afaf Chachai El Taïri, head of the Ministry of Industry's office.

The advisory committee's meeting, held on October 2, 2026, was attended by representatives from various ministries, including Finance, Economy, Planning, Trade, and Employment, as well as the Tunisian Union of Industry, Commerce, and Traditional Industries. The committee also included representatives from the banking sector and senior officials from the Ministry of Industry. The meeting aimed to discuss and approve investment files under the Industrial Rehabilitation Program.

In addition to the two approved investment files, the committee also reviewed the work of the program's restricted committee, which met on September 30, 2026. The restricted committee examined 23 rehabilitation files with a total investment cost of 82.3 million dinars and grants worth 11.6 million dinars. The committee also considered 57 files for priority technological investments valued at 3.17 million dinars, with grants amounting to 1.26 million dinars.

The Industrial Rehabilitation Program aims to support and develop Tunisia's industrial sector by providing financial incentives and grants to companies investing in key industries. The program is part of the government's efforts to boost economic growth, create jobs, and increase competitiveness. By approving these investment files, the government hopes to attract more investment and stimulate economic activity in the country.

The two approved companies will operate in strategic sectors, including car and aircraft component manufacturing and metal canning. These industries are considered crucial for Tunisia's economic development, as they can contribute to the country's exports and create employment opportunities. The approved investments are expected to have a positive impact on the country's economy and help achieve the government's development goals.

The Ministry of Industry plays a key role in implementing the Industrial Rehabilitation Program, which is designed to support the country's industrial sector. The ministry works closely with other government agencies, the private sector, and international partners to promote investment and develop the industrial sector. The program's success will depend on effective coordination and collaboration among all stakeholders.
