Doing Business in Tunisia
Business and Economic Overview
Tunisia is ranked 78th on the Ease of doing Business index 2023. Unemployment is at 15.4 % with inflation at 5.3%. In 2017 the government lost an estimate of $816 million to corruption.
Tunisia’s public procurement sector is exposed to corruption. Giving bribes and making irregular payments are commonly made when bidding on government contracts.
To secure a government contract it is common to give gifts. Having the right connections makes it easier to overcome administrative barriers. Safeguards against corruption are inadequate in Tunisia. The procurement sector lacks governance. Companies can use the electronic public procurement system, TUNEPS. Companies are also recommended to use a specialised public procurement due diligence tool to mitigate the corruption risks associated with public procurement in Tunisia.
