Cumulative debt services recorded an increase of 19.6%, to reach 7.6 billion dinars, during the first 9 months of 2023, compared to the same period of 2022 , according to monetary and financial indicators, published Thursday by the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT). As for foreign currency reserves, they evolved positively by 13.5%, going from 23.2 billion dinars (i.e. 106 days of imports), as of October 4, 2022, to 26.4 billion dinars (118 days of import). This improvement is recorded thanks to a considerable increase in tourism revenues of 41.7%, going from nearly 4.1 billion dinars, at the end of September 2022, to 5.8 billion dinars currently. It is also caused by the increase in cumulative labor income which in turn increased by 4.8% to exceed 7.6 billion dinars as of September 30, 2023.
