The modernisation of Tunisie Telecom

In 2025, the EBRD extended a €190 million loan to Tunisie Telecom, launching a comprehensive corporate modernisation programme. This initiative aims to strengthen the operator’s strategic and operational capabilities, focusing on optimising real-estate and operational assets and supporting digital transformation.

The programme includes the introduction of a wholesale market framework for infrastructure sharing, regulatory support for the national telecom regulator and capacity building. Targeted corporate-level improvements include the development of a digitalisation strategy, better asset management and the optimisation of state-owned infrastructure.

These efforts are expected to increase competition and private-sector participation through new wholesale access rules, strengthened regulatory capacity and improved operational efficiency. The innovative financing structure, linking interest rates to reform outcomes, will further incentivise progress.

The EBRD in Tunisia

The EBRD has been investing in Tunisia since 2011. In Tunisia we focus on strengthening the financial sector, helping private enterprises gain better access to financing, and promoting economic inclusion for women, young people and those living in remote areas. We also support the transition to a green economy.
