Tunisia’s annual inflation rate rose to 5.9% in March 2025, driven by increases in food, clothing, and household items. While housing and utilities saw a slight decrease, transportation costs remained stable. A monthly rise in consumer prices also occurred.
In March 2025, Tunisia’s annual inflation rate increased to 5.9%, compared to 5.7% in February. This rise was primarily attributed to notable hikes in food and non-alcoholic beverages, which rose by 7.8%, clothing and footwear, which surged to 11.7%, and stable costs in household contents and equipment at 5.5%.
Conversely, inflation rates for housing and utilities saw a minor decline, easing to 3.2% from 3.8%, while transportation prices remained unchanged at 3.2%. Additionally, the monthly consumer price index reflected a 2.0% increase in March, following a modest rise of 0.5% in the preceding month.
The inflationary trend in Tunisia, now at 5.9% in March 2025, reflects significant increases in key sectors such as food, clothing, and household goods. Conversely, declines in housing and utilities inflation, coupled with stable transportation costs, present a mixed economic landscape. Moving forward, continued monitoring of these inflation trends will be essential.
