Investment Policy Review of Tunisia

UNCTAD's Investment Policy Reviews (IPRs) aim to help countries improve their investment policies with a view to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

They also help to familiarise governments and the private sector with the investment climate of these countries. The analysis is based on the key principles and guidelines of the Investment Policy Framework for Sustainable Development (UNCTAD, 2015).

IPR recommendations promote transparent, efficient and predictable policy, legal and institutional investment frameworks. They can be implemented over several years with the assistance of development partners, including UNCTAD.

In line with the SDGs, IPRs encourage investment for development. The recommendations are in line with national development plans and focus on key sectors.

As such, the IPR programme contributes directly to the following SDGs:

  • SDG 8 target 2: Achieve high levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, with a focus on high value-added and labour-intensive sectors.
  • SDG 17 target 3: Mobilise additional financial resources from various sources for developing countries.

The IPR programme also contributes to other SDGs, including SDG 1 - ‘Eradicate poverty in all its forms everywhere’ and SDG 10 - ‘Reduce inequality within and between countries’.

The Investment Policy Review of Tunisia was commissioned by the Ministry of Economy and Planning and the Permanent Mission of Tunisia to the United Nations Office at Geneva and the specialised agencies in Switzerland. A national validation workshop was held on 6 December 2024 in Tunis.

The information contained in this IPR ends on 30 November 2024.
