Tunisian insurance sector challenged by increasing risks

The Tunisian insurance market is facing a growing range of challenges stemming from climate change, economic disruption, and technological transformation.

Climate-related events, particularly floods and droughts, rank among the most significant risks and are placing increasing pressure on the national economy.

Viewed as a key driver of economic and social development, the insurance sector is being called upon to support growth, enhance financial stability, and protect individuals and businesses, well beyond its traditional role of providing compensation.

Industry stakeholders stress the need to reinforce this role through strategies focused on risk prevention and innovation.

These statements were made by the Minister of Finance, Michket Slama Khaldi, at the opening ceremony of the 18^th Carthage Insurance and Reinsurance RDV, held in Tunis from 1 to 3 February 2026 under the theme: “Securing the future in a changing world: innovating, preventing and building resilience.”
