Tunisia: Reconstruction of public transport under focus as President of Republic meets Transport Minister
During the meeting, the Head of State discussed the reconstruction of the public transport sector, particularly the imminent arrival of new buses to alleviate citizens' commuting hardships while awaiting the full restoration of this system, which has been nearly dismantled nationwide, according to a statement from the Presidency.
Rhe Head of State ordered remove all obstacles to ensure these buses arrive in Tunisia as soon as possible. The meeting also addressed the ongoing issues at Tunisair, including recent disruptions to flight schedules.
President Kais Saied emphasised the need for structural reforms to restore the prestige of this historic national carrier, asserting that its privatisation is non-negotiable, despite some openly advocating for it.
He similarly ruled out relocating Tunis-Carthage International Airport, as it had been canvassed some time ago.
The Head of State concluded by affirming that Tunisia's public companies and establishments are not for sale, declaring that Tunisair will remain a source of national pride, excelling in air and ground services. He stressed that Tunisia is waging a war of national liberation, where the country's supreme interest must override all other considerations.

US cannot 'compel Israel to do anything', says envoy Tom Barrack in Beirut
US envoy said Washington cannot force but only influence Israeli actions as he met Lebanese leaders in Beirut on Monday for more talks on disarming Hezbollah and stopping Israeli bombing. 'The US has no business in trying to compel Israel to do anything … America could only influence,' he said during meetings with President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam. Lebanon has asked the US to act as guarantor to ensure that Israel will pull out its troops in full and stop targeting operations against members of Hezbollah, if the armed group begins handing in weapons. Mr Barrack also reiterated his position that disarming Hezbollah is a matter for Lebanon, but said pushing for reform in the country was vital and the US wanted it to prosper. He said "the reforms that are happening ... are amazingly plausible and significant". But he also ruled out sanctions against Lebanese officials for failing to disarm Hezbollah. "There's no consequence, there's no threat, there's no whip," Mr Barrack said. Israel continues to bomb south Lebanon daily and occupies five strategic points on Lebanese territory, despite a ceasefire struck with Hezbollah in November. Mr Barrack accepted that the November truce "didn't work" and said a lasting solution needed to be found. He said US President Donald Trump "attaches importance to the situation in Lebanon and the restoration of stability in the region". President Aoun gave the US envoy a "draft comprehensive memorandum for implementing Lebanon's pledges" that have been made since the ceasefire was struck, according to a statement from the presidency. The document emphasised the need to extend state authority to the entire country, restrict weapons to the army and ensure "decisions of war and peace" rest with Lebanese constitutional authorities. Mr Barrack's visit is his second to Lebanon in two weeks and is expected to last several days. Lebanon and the US have been exchanging 'ideas' on a proposal that would ultimately lead to Hezbollah's disarmament, with all weapons then coming under the control of the Lebanese state. Beirut is also pushing for Israel to halt its daily attacks and withdraw from the five points it occupies. However, Hezbollah's Secretary General Naim Qassem has accused Mr Barrack of seeking to encourage the Lebanese Army to disarm the group by force and provoke a civil war. The Hezbollah leader has taken a hard line on the weapons issue, arguing that Israel would expand its territorial control over parts of Lebanon in the absence of the militant group. 'We will not surrender or give up to Israel; Israel will not take our weapons away from us,' Mr Qassem said in a video speech at a commemoration for a senior Hezbollah commander killed in the war with Israel last year. "We are ready for any action that leads to a Lebanese understanding," he added. "But for Israel and America, we will not do this under any type of threat." On his previous visit, Mr Barrack, who is special envoy for Syria and US ambassador to Turkey, said he was satisfied with Lebanon's response to the US plan for the disarmament of Hezbollah. But he also insisted that Lebanon must not be left behind in a rapidly changing region. In their reply to the US proposal, Lebanese authorities submitted a seven-page document calling for a full Israeli withdrawal from disputed territory, including Shebaa Farms, and reaffirming state control over all weapons while pledging to dismantle Hezbollah's arms in south Lebanon. In a recent interview with The National, Mr Barrack said time was of the essence. 'I honestly think that they are going to say, 'the world will pass us by'. Why? You have Israel on one side, you have Iran on the other, and now you have Syria manifesting itself so quickly that if Lebanon doesn't move, it's going to be Bilad Al Sham again,' he said, using the historical name for the Greater Syria region. That comment by Mr Barrack was widely interpreted as suggesting Lebanon risks being swallowed up into a Greater Syria, but the envoy later said he was merely trying to praise 'Syria's impressive strides'. 'I can assure that Syria's leaders only want coexistence and mutual prosperity with Lebanon, and the United States is committed to supporting that relationship between two equal and sovereign neighbours enjoying peace and prosperity,' he said on X.

Led by UAE, GCC poised for boom in foreign direct investment
The outlook for foreign direct investment (FDI) in the GCC and broader Mena region is becoming increasingly optimistic despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and global economic uncertainties. A series of new studies from Bloomberg, S&P Global Market Intelligence, and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) highlights how the UAE and Saudi Arabia are emerging as global frontrunners in attracting foreign capital, positioning the region as a hub for international investors in search of resilience, innovation, and strategic diversification. According to the Unctad World Investment Report 2025, the UAE surged to 10th place among the world's top FDI destinations in 2024, recording an inflow of $45.6 billion—an increase of nearly 49 per cent from $30.68 billion in 2023. The UAE accounted for 55.6 per cent of total FDI inflows into the Middle East, which collectively stood at $82.08 billion. Other major regional recipients included Saudi Arabia with $15.73 billion, Turkiye with $10.59 billion, and Oman with $8.68 billion. The UAE's rise reflects its aggressive economic reforms, investor-friendly regulations, world-class infrastructure, and robust commitment to future-focused sectors like artificial intelligence (AI), renewable energy, and advanced manufacturing. As noted by Unctad, this trend cements the country's growing importance in global capital flows, outpacing many mature economies. The Bloomberg Media's seventh Global FDI Outlook report, Rebalancing in Real Time, further underscores this shift. Based on a survey of 2,600 global executives — including 227 from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and Morocco — the study finds that the Mena region leads the world in FDI ambition, with 90 per cent of decision-makers expressing intent to expand internationally. This compares to a global average of 76 per cent. The average investment plan in the region was $239 million, well above the global average of $194 million. FDI interest in the region is no longer solely driven by traditional sectors like oil and real estate. There is growing investor focus on cost efficiency, supply chain reliability, and emerging technologies. Compared to 2023, FDI project interest grew by 10 percentage points in manufacturing, four points in supply chains, and three points in new market expansion. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are investing heavily in AI, with 53 per cent of Mena-based respondents planning to allocate capital to the sector in the next one to three years—making it the top emerging area for investment. Junaid Ansari, head of Investment Strategy and Research at Kamco Invest, said: 'The competition between the US and China to deepen investment linkages in Mena has opened a window of opportunity for the region. GCC countries, led by the UAE and Saudi Arabia, are skillfully leveraging this geopolitical dynamic to attract long-term, strategic capital.' S&P's report has cautioned that after a decade of strong FDI growth across both GCC states and North Africa, 2025 may see a brief moderation due to investor caution over changing US trade policies, volatile oil prices, and the slower-than-expected pace of some GCC economic diversification plans. However, a weakening US dollar could play in the region's favour, reducing the cost of capital for European, Chinese, and Indian investors while enhancing the external competitiveness of GCC economies with currencies pegged to the dollar. Mohamed Ali Omar, associate at S&P Global, said the current weakness of the dollar served as a competitive advantage for GCC nations. 'This dynamic, combined with proactive structural reforms, enhances the region's attractiveness even in a complex global environment.' The conflict in the Middle East, cybersecurity threats, and increased trade barriers remain top concerns for investors, particularly in the wake of recent geopolitical developments and tariff hikes by the US. Despite these challenges, the region is maintaining a pragmatic and resilient approach to growth, particularly through sustainability and ESG integration. The Bloomberg report highlights that 69 per cent of Mena decision-makers have already integrated ESG criteria into their FDI strategies, compared to a global average of 56 per cent while 29 per cent plan to do so in the near future. This strong regional focus on sustainable investment is positioning the GCC not just as a financial hub, but also as a leader in green transformation. The report also reveals that optimism in the Mena region is largely tied to the easing of US-China trade tensions, with 76 per cent of regional respondents citing this as the most encouraging global economic development. It's a sentiment that reflects growing confidence in the region's ability to navigate and benefit from shifting global alignments. FDI experts believe that as the world reconfigures investment priorities in the post-pandemic, post-globalisation era, the GCC—particularly the UAE and Saudi Arabia—is emerging as a sought-after destination for FDI capital, driven by its strong macroeconomic fundamentals, forward-looking governance, and unwavering commitment to technological and sustainable advancement.
