Tunis: Prime Minister Sarra Zaafrani Zenzri received on Thursday evening at the Government Palace in the Kasbah the Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT), Fethi Zouheir Nouri, who handed over the bank's 2025 financial statements along with the auditors' report.
According to Agence Tunis Afrique Presse, during the meeting, Zenzri emphasized that the state's policy, under the guidance of the President of the Republic and based on national choices, self-reliance, and refusal of external dictates, has proven effective in achieving several positive economic indicators. This is despite challenging global economic conditions and the repercussions of rapid and unprecedented geopolitical fluctuations that have created uncertainty affecting the global economy and regional stability.
She also commended the BCT for its pivotal role in implementing monetary policy, highlighting its success in controlling inflation, maintaining foreign currency reserves, ensuring exchange rate stability, and reducing the key interest rate.
The Prime Minister further stressed the importance of heightened vigilance and increased efforts by all public enterprises to mitigate the impact of global economic crises on the national economy. She emphasized the need to strengthen economic resilience and, above all, preserve citizens' purchasing power, which she described as a top national priority.
Zenzri also affirmed that the recently issued decrees on wage increases in both the public and private sectors aim to support the purchasing power of all Tunisians. These measures are designed to ensure fair and adequate wages for workers and retirees, in line with citizens' expectations for decent living conditions and social justice.
For his part, the Governor of the Central Bank emphasized the institution's role in supporting the state's efforts in monetary and economic fields. He noted that the Central Bank acts as an integral part of the country's overall economic policy and supports the choices of the state and the people in the interest of the nation.
