Circular to Banks and the National Office of Posts No. 2024-10 dated September 6, 2024

The Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia issued Circular No. 2024-10 to mandate that banks and the National Office of Posts open a single, uniquely coded special campaign account for each presidential candidate. The circular restricts eligible funding to Tunisian dinar transfers from residents and self-deposits by the financial agent, explicitly prohibiting foreign, anonymous, corporate, and non-resident Tunisian contributions. It further requires strict reporting protocols, including real-time system declarations, interim and final statements within fifteen days of campaign closure, mandatory retention of records for ten years, and the designation of a dedicated liaison officer to ensure compliance.
