Tunisia

The European Investment Bank (EIB) is stepping up its support for the water sector in Tunisia with two new loans totalling €30 million – a €22 million finance contract signed with Société nationale d’exploitation et de distribution des eaux (Sonede) and an €8 million contract signed with the Republic of Tunisia. Both operations are backed by a guarantee from the European Commission and will help finalise a structural project for drinking water supply in Greater Tunis, the most densely populated region of the country which is faced with growing demand for water.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) upheld its strong commitment to Tunisia by signing €415 million in new financing in 2024, consolidating its role as a key partner in the country’s economic and social development. The aim of these strategic investments is to modernise infrastructure, boost the economy and make Tunisia more resilient to energy and climate-related challenges, all while supporting job creation and social inclusion.

The European Union, the EIB, AFD Group and KfW announce a major joint investment of €270.9 million to support Tunisia's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
