Tunisia incurred financial losses exceeding one billion dinars last year across 11 public institutions and companies, according to an official audit report.
The Tunisian Court of Auditors released its annual report last week, uncovering widespread financial irregularities and governance lapses. The audit estimates total losses at about 1.07 billion dinars, with the national airline Tunisair accounting for more than 316 million dinars, while the Office of Merchant Marine and Ports recorded losses of nearly 291 million dinars.
The report highlights unauthorized payments of salaries, bonuses and allowances, alongside weak control and oversight systems. In response, President Kais Saied called for firm accountability measures, warning that corruption has become deeply embedded within several state institutions.
