Finance Bill 2027: Interest-Free Loans up to 10,000 Dinars

Tunisia’s 2027 Finance Bill earmarks 20 million dinars for vulnerable and low-income households: it opens access to interest-free loans of up to 10,000 dinars, set out in Article 20, to fund projects carried out during 2027.

Who can benefit from these interest-free loans?

an interest-free loan over six years takes planning, it isn’t something you seize at the last minute

The 2027 Finance Bill sets aside 20 million dinars for vulnerable and low-income households. If you belong to this group, this budget line concerns you directly: it aims to open up access to interest-free financing for households with modest means.

This measure appears in Article 20 of the bill. It is a clearly identified provision of the 2027 Finance Bill.

What are the conditions of the loan?

The 2027 Finance Bill sets precise terms for these interest-free loans. Their amount cannot exceed 10,000 dinars, a sum intended to finance economic activities. This funding must be used entirely for projects carried out during 2027.

As for repayment, the maximum term granted is six years. That gives you a comfortable window to repay without interest.

What does the 2027 Finance Bill change for community companies?

The 2027 Finance Bill also provides an additional 35 million dinars earmarked for financing community companies. This sum would be drawn from the resources of the Fund concerned, on top of the measures already planned for vulnerable households.

For community companies, this contribution would be a dedicated source of funding, capable of supporting their local projects. The file does not yet specify how this funding would be shared out among the structures concerned: that question remains, at this stage, unresolved.

Between the funding set aside for vulnerable households and the one opening up to community companies, the 2027 Finance Bill reveals the same intention: giving breathing room and time to those carrying a project with limited means. If you recognise yourself in this group, the simplest approach is to follow the publication of the budget text and check with the relevant structures as soon as the practical details are confirmed: an interest-free loan over six years takes planning, it isn’t something you seize at the last minute.
