Minister of Economy and Planning Samir Saied today partook in the work of the special edition of the Strategic Council of the Tunisia Investment Authority (TIA) which is being held in its new format. This Council is a force for suggesting public policies in matters of investment.
The broad outlines of an annual report assessing public investment policies prepared by the TIA within the framework of this council were presented. This report highlights good international practices in enhancing the business environment to propose reforms relating to the Tunisian context. This same report concentrated on critical factors related to investment decisions. The strategic advisory meeting was likewise an opportunity to deliver the recent reforms undertaken in Egypt to improve the business environment, notably the reform of the single license and the vocation of this reform to accelerate strategic investment projects.
The Minister of Economy and Planning, on this occasion, emphasised that we have a lot to learn from the Egyptian experience in terms of investment. And to add that it is a chance to reflect on the different types of investment incentives and to improve the draft of the new investment law sent since May 2023 to be reviewed by the Council of Ministers. In this context, the minister however acknowledged that there are difficulties in terms of execution. “Ministries do not all move at the same pace. Not all positions are always in harmony. It is time to decide on the exchange code, the investment law and questions connected to investment incentives. We have to move quickly. We are not the only destination for investors. There are competitors pursuing the same objectives,” adds Samir Saied who congratulated the Egyptians for the efforts made in terms of investment in green hydrogen.
