Tunisia: FDI up 21% in 2024 (UNCTAD)
Tunis - Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Tunisia increased by 21% in 2024, compared to 2023, reaching $936 million, according to the latest World Investment Report published Thursday by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Along with Egypt, Tunisia contributed «significantly» to the rise in the value of new projects in North Africa, where investments grew by 12% to reach $76 billion, accounting for two-thirds of the continent's total investment spending. Tunisia contributed to this growth with investment announcements worth $13 billion, along with a considerable increase in the number of projects. According to UNCTAD, North Africa was the only region in the continent to record an increase in the value of new projects. It also attracted the highest amount of FDI on the continent, with a value of $51 billion, compared to $13 billion in 2023. Moreover, the report highlighted a significant rebound in FDI flows to Africa, which surged by 75% to reach $97 billion, representing 6% of global FDI flows, compared to 4% the previous year. This increase is largely attributed to an international financing agreement for urban development projects in Egypt, according to the same source. Excluding this boost, FDI in Africa still grew by 12%, reaching about $62 billion, which is 4% of global flows. Efforts to facilitate investment continued to play an important role in Africa, accounting for 36% of investor-friendly policy measures. Liberalisation also remained a key aspect of investment policy-making in both Africa and Asia, representing one-fifth of the measures adopted in 2024. The continent attracted a growing share of global megaprojects in 2024, including seven valued at over $4 billion each. Among the largest announcements was a megaproject in Tunisia's renewable energy sector, worth a total of $6 billion. At the sector level, construction and metal products saw the largest increases in investment in entirely new projects, while electricity and gas supply projects dropped by $51 billion. According to the report, European investors hold the largest stock of FDI in Africa, followed by the United States and China. Chinese investments, valued at $42 billion, are diversifying into sectors such as pharmaceuticals and agribusiness. © Tap 2022 Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (

Qatar: Affordable housing demand surges amid rising expat influx
Doha: Qatar is experiencing a surge in demand for affordable housing, driven largely by a growing influx of expatriates attracted to the country's robust economy, infrastructure expansion, and evolving labor policies. This rising demand is putting pressure on the real estate market, particularly in mid-income segments, as prices climb and supply struggles to keep pace. According to data from Qatar's Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning, the expatriate population has increased by over 9 percent in the past year, fueled by ongoing developments in the energy sector, World Cup legacy projects, and new foreign investment initiatives. While luxury residential properties remain abundant in Doha and its suburbs, affordable units are becoming increasingly scarce. 'Qatar has made substantial progress in upgrading its housing stock, but the current influx is creating a demand-supply mismatch in the affordable housing sector,' said Ali Mansoor, a market expert and regional urban economist in Qatar. 'The lower-middle-income expatriates, particularly in services and retail, are being priced out of centrally located housing.' The Al Wakra and Al Rayyan municipalities have seen the steepest rental increases, with average rents for one-bedroom apartments rising by 14 percent since mid-2024. Meanwhile, developers are still focused on luxury and high-end residential projects, leaving a widening gap in the mid-market range. 'There is strong demand from skilled expatriates who earn moderate wages and want clean, safe, and affordable housing within commuting distance to Doha,' he said. However, the current supply pipeline is not adequately aligned with the needs. In response, the government initiated plans to revise zoning regulations to incentivise the development of mixed-income housing communities. Researchers say long-term solutions must focus on urban planning strategies that integrate transport, employment zones, and housing development. 'Rising costs are already affecting workforce stability in critical sectors like hospitality, logistics, and healthcare,' said Mansoor. 'Affordable housing is directly tied to economic resilience and social equity.' With Qatar positioning itself as a regional business and innovation hub, analysts warn that affordable housing will become an even more urgent issue unless addressed through proactive policies. Stakeholders across real estate, governance, and industry agree that balancing growth with inclusivity is now imperative. 'Qatar's future lies in attracting talent from across the world. Affordable housing is the foundation of a truly competitive and sustainable economy,' Mansoor added. © Dar Al Sharq Press, Printing and Distribution. All Rights Reserved.
