Tunisia

Tunisia reports more, and more often, than most of the continent. Nine of ten datasets here reach 2025; one stops earlier, and this page shows where.

At a glance

12.3 million people, half of them under 33, in an economy of $60.7bn in 2026, growing 2.1% a year.

Tunisia’s economy is measured monthly and its households are measured by census. That split runs through everything below: exchange rates and market prices arrive within days, while access to water and power is estimated years after the fact.

One of the four figures beside this is modelled rather than reported. The page marks which is which everywhere, so a number you cite is a number you can defend.

Nine of ten datasets carry a 2025 figure. Climate stops at 2024. Hatching is the absence of a figure, not a low one.
