Atlas No. 5 quadrant

Attractive structure, poor timing

The patient book. Build exposure through the cycle, hedge the entry, lock incentives now. Senegal's timing read of 17 is the lowest of the twelve deep dives and moves only on the IMF board.

Minerals Signal No. 1 · 14 September 2026

Watch

Real potential constrained by access, governance or security. Not one of the ten deep dives, so the continental-screen tier is its Minerals Signal read.

Energy Signal No. 1 · 7 September 2026

Not among the sixteen markets the Energy Signal scores.

Reads run 0 to 100, higher is better, and split at each report’s published medians. They are structured rankings built from cited series and dated events, not validated predictive models, and none of them is ISI or METI, which remain in independent validation.

World Bank figures are the most recent observation in the World Development Indicators, shown with their year; IMF figures are from the World Economic Outlook (April 2026) and are the IMF’s estimates and projections, not Kilwa’s. Both are reproduced with attribution (World Bank data under CC BY 4.0). Rows without a recent observation say so rather than disappearing, so the ten rows read the same on every market page.

Report by report

Cover of Kilwa Atlas No. 3: Africa FX, Funding and Capital Mobility

Kilwa Atlas No. 3 · 4 September 2026

Kilwa Atlas No. 3: Africa FX, Funding and Capital Mobility

The queues have cleared in the two largest markets; the risk has moved, not gone. Capital in Africa passes four gates — fund it, hedge it, receive it, repatriate it — and this Atlas scores all 54 markets on two published gauges, Capital Mobility Risk and Currency Pressure, reconstructs the 2015 to 2026 convertibility record, prices what a hedge costs where one exists, and states where distributions can be trusted, where they are negotiated and where they are trapped.

Cover of Kilwa Atlas No. 2: Africa Trade and Investment

Kilwa Atlas No. 2 · 31 August 2026

Kilwa Atlas No. 2: Africa Trade and Investment

A Right to Win must survive five gates — demand, capability, permission, cash and execution. This Atlas screens 54 markets across the EU27, China, US and Gulf corridors, prices the constraints behind four product cases — Moroccan wiring, Ugandan coffee, Kenyan roses and Ivorian cocoa — and states where capital should enter, wait or stop.

Questions we are asked

Tunisia, in five answers.

Where does Tunisia sit in Kilwa Atlas No. 5?
As of 4 September 2026, Kilwa Atlas No. 5 reads Tunisia at 50.8 on structure and 47.3 on timing, above the 54-market structure median of 48.5 and below the timing median of 55.2, which places it in the "Attractive structure, poor timing" quadrant. Both reads are structured rankings built from cited series, not validated predictive models.
Does Kilwa cover Tunisia in its critical minerals research?
Yes. Minerals Signal No. 1 (14 September 2026) screens all 54 markets and places Tunisia in the Watch tier: real potential constrained by access, governance or security. The tier is a structural characterisation, not a score; the ten numeric deep dives are named in the report.
How many Kilwa reports score or discuss Tunisia?
5 published Kilwa reports place Tunisia in a named tier or quadrant, 2 more discuss it by name. Each is listed on this page with its date and linked to the report, which remains the source.
How large is Tunisia's economy, and how fast is it growing?
The World Bank puts Tunisia's GDP at US$ 57.5 billion in 2025 (US$ 4,657 per person, lower middle income). The IMF's World Economic Outlook, April 2026 estimates real growth of 2.5% in 2025 and projects 2.1% in 2026, with inflation at 6.5% and general government gross debt at 84.9% of GDP. Figures are the World Bank's and the IMF's, reproduced with attribution; the projections are the IMF's, not Kilwa's.
Can Kilwa produce a Tunisia-specific view for our mandate?
Yes. The reads on this page are published for general circulation and are not tailored to any recipient. Kilwa's advisory services take a mandate-specific brief on capital allocation, risk and regulatory intelligence, market entry and sovereign capital, and an engagement is scoped from the services page. Research is analysis, not investment, legal or tax advice.
