Tunisia

A nation of 12.3 million that repays its debts on time and finances itself at home, with public debt of 82.2% of GDP in 2025 and a $500 million Afreximbank loan in June 2026.

Perfect Nations values what Tunisia owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Tunisia. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.

Perfect Nations® · Letters to the NationsTunisia

Dear Tunisia,

You pay your debts on time, every household has electricity, and most of your young people finish lower secondary school.

Yet you finance yourself almost entirely at home, at the cost of your own companies. Let your institutions and your sun open cheaper capital from abroad.

“A nation that pays on time should borrow at the price of its word.”
