These flows were distributed between portfolio investments, reaching 136.8 million dinars in 2023 compared to 7.6 million in 2022, and foreign direct investments (FDI), which saw a 7.7% increase, reaching 2.38 billion dinars.

FIPA further specified that the manufacturing industry topped the list of sectors attracting the most FDI in 2023, accounting for 62.1% of the total flows. Following closely were the energy sector (19.7%), services (17.5%), and agriculture (0.8%).
