Tunisia's inflation rate decreased to 4.8% in January 2025, marking its lowest level since March 2021. This decline follows a period of three consecutive months where the rate held steady at 4.9%.

Similarly, the costs associated with restaurants and hotels rose by 5.5%, a decrease from the previous 6%.

Health-related expenses grew by 3%, down from 3.7%, while transportation costs increased by 2.6%, compared to 2.8% in the previous period.
