In Tunisia, the inflation rate reached 5.5% year-on-year in April 2026, according to the National Institute of Statistics (INS), mainly driven by rising prices of food products (8.2% compared to 6.8% in March) and clothing and footwear (9.3% compared to 7.5%). These figures show that the increase in food prices is notably driven by fresh fruit (+19.2%), poultry (+16.1%), lamb (+16.1%), fresh vegetables (+13.5%), beef (+12%), and fresh fish (+11.9%). However, the rise in inflation was mitigated by slower increases in transport prices (2.2% compared to 2.8%), as well as declines in the prices of edible oils (-6.8%) and eggs (-4.4%).
