How is the Tunisian dinar priced vs USD & EUR?
This interactive explainer shows the main forces that move the exchange rate: inflation, interest rates, trade balance, reserves, and confidence. It is educational (not a forecast).
Move the drivers
Higher “pressure” means a tendency for the TND to weaken (more TND per USD/EUR). Lower pressure means support for the TND.
If Tunisia’s inflation is higher than the US/EU, the dinar tends to depreciate over time (purchasing power parity).
Higher local rates can support the currency (attract dinar demand), but only if inflation and risk are controlled.
A deficit means the country needs foreign currency (imports, debt service) more than it earns (exports, tourism).
More reserves give the central bank room to smooth volatility and meet FX demand (imports, debt).
Political risk, debt worries, and capital controls raise demand for hard currency and can weaken the dinar.
What this implies (simple model)
A simplified “pressure index” converts your inputs into an estimated % move for USD/TND and EUR/TND.
Mechanics in plain language
The exchange rate is the price of foreign currency (USD/EUR) in dinars. It moves when demand for USD/EUR changes relative to supply.
Supply comes from exports, tourism, remittances, and foreign investment. Demand comes from imports, debt repayment, and capital outflows.
The central bank can smooth volatility using reserves and policy, but it cannot permanently fix a rate that contradicts inflation, trade balance, and confidence.
