Tunisian Prime Minister Sara Zenzari has announced that the government will work towards implementing a comprehensive administrative reform to improve public services and promote economic growth. The reform aims to modernize the public sector, enhance the quality of administrative work, and develop human resources. This was stated during the presentation of the government's economic and financial plans for 2027 at the Assembly of People's Representatives.

The National School of Administration has begun reviewing the administrative training system in a comprehensive and structural manner. This includes updating programs and curricula, enhancing the practical aspect, and linking training to the actual and renewed needs of ministries, public institutions, and establishments. The goal is to improve the skills of public sector employees and enhance the efficiency of administrative work.

The government is also working on reforming public institutions and establishments. This involves restructuring some of them based on efficiency, good governance, and sustainability. The aim is to address accumulated imbalances, eliminate overlapping tasks and scattered roles, and overcome weak performance. The government also plans to restore the pivotal role of these institutions in serving citizens and supporting the national economy.

The reform process will be based on performance contracts and multi-year programs for the period 2026-2030. The government will also work on financial cleansing of the debt of some public institutions and establishments through a comprehensive approach to settling cross debts. This is in line with the provisions of the 2027 finance bill.

Despite the challenges, the government is committed to pursuing the reform and construction process in a steady and continuous manner. The government is working under the leadership of President Kais Saied, prioritizing Tunisia's supreme interests, and maintaining its unity, continuity, stability, and sovereignty.

The government is counting on the collective awareness of Tunisians to work hard, produce, and promote justice, development, and dignity. The goal is to continue building the country according to its independent national choices, away from external dictates or interference in its internal affairs.

The government expects the economy to grow by 3.1% and per capita income to rise by 7.2% in 2027. The government is committed to promoting investment, enhancing the social role of the state, and establishing a sustainable, competitive, and productive economy that can create wealth.
