Infrastructure’s long-term horizon, high upfront capital costs, and risk of stranded assets have all contributed to investors’ greater awareness of sustainability and climate-related risks. However, the growing interest in including ESG factors into financial decisions still falls short of meeting Paris Agreement objectives and averting a climate disaster. Therefore, how can we speed up the investment in infrastructure aligned with a sustainability transition?

The proposed national charter will likely expand the President’s powers, raising questions over the country’s future institutional architecture and checks and balances system.

When Kais Saïed was elected President of the Republic of Tunisia in 2019, he had just run his campaign on a programme of institutional reform aimed at solving, once and for all, the political crisis that the country is still going through.

Tunisia’s 2011-2021 decade can be summarised as follows: the introduction of democracy, the fall of a semi-socialist state, the deterioration of citizens’ economic conditions, the rise (and fall) of terrorism, and the Covid-19 pandemic. People, however, tend to forget about democracy and focus only on the negative aspects. As such, a new narrative is gaining ground: the crisis started in January 2011, when demonstrations against President Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali intensified -and never ended.

Fundamental shifts in the Gulf monarchies’ foreign and domestic policymaking bear direct implications for their engagement in Tunisia. As a consequence, Tunis no longer plays a relevant role in the Gulf’s political-economic-security nexus. Despite Saudi Arabia’s and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)’s public support for President Kais Saïed and his authoritarian bent, the Gulf’s focus has shifted from North Africa toward other hotspots in order to preserve power projection in times of rising global multipolarism.

Over the past decade, Tunisia has been known as the sole “Arab Spring” success story, considering its steady path towards democratisation. Regrettably, it has also been among the MENA countries most exposed to homegrown jihadist radicalisation and domestic terrorism.

Where is Tunisia heading, or, better yet, what is the outcome President Kais Saïed wishes to achieve with the founding of a so-called “new Republic”? Will the country grow into an innovative and reliable democracy or, instead, an autocracy disguised as a formally democratic regime? Saïed’s authoritarian measures over the past twelve months are not promising.

One of the most striking differences between Tunisia’s current transition back to autocracy and its difficult transition to an imperfect democracy between 2011 and 2014 is the role of the international community and the United States (US) in particular. The US and its Western allies, together with the European Union (EU), the United Nations, and the World Bank, supported the country’s transition to democracy.

Tunisia is currently hurtling towards both economic collapse and political instability. As the country prepares to vote on a constitutional referendum on July 25th, President Kais Saïed has failed to address nearly all the economic challenges facing Tunisia. Since his self-coup nearly a year ago, Saïed has focused on consolidating political power into his hands rather than lowering unemployment, reducing the budget deficit, or addressing inflation.
