Circular to Banks No. 2026-01 of January 5, 2026

The Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia issued Circular No. 2026-1 to amend banking conditions by repealing and replacing the first paragraph of Article 36 of Circular No. 91-22, which sets the interest rate on savings (TRE) at a fixed annual rate of 6%. This regulatory update, based on the Board of Directors' December 2025 resolutions and compliance committee opinion, takes effect as of January 2, 2026. The directive directly standardizes savings remuneration across Tunisian banks to align with current monetary policy frameworks.
