Tunisia Inflation Drops to 4-Year Low

The annual inflation rate in Tunisia fell to 5.4% in May 2025 from 5.6% in April, marking the lowest level since May 2021.

The slowdown was mainly driven by slower growth in prices for food (6.7% vs.

7.3% in April), restaurants and hotels (10.8% vs.

11.0%), and leisure and culture (6.1% vs.

6.3%).

By contrast, inflation for clothing and footwear (9.4%) and education (5.7%) remained stable, while communication costs (1.0% vs.

0.9%) and other goods and services (5.7% vs.

5.4%) rose.

On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 0.3% in May, following a 0.6% increase in April.
