Market Overview
Tunisia operates the Tunis Metro Léger (light metro) in the capital and a national rail network serving major cities. The Tunis light rail system is being extended, with new lines and extensions under planning. The national operator SNCFT runs intercity trains on the coastal corridor and to interior cities. Tunisia is studying a high-speed rail link between Tunis and Sfax as a flagship infrastructure project. A new line connecting Tunis to the Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport is planned. Tunisia's proximity to Europe and its position as a North African hub make rail connectivity improvements strategically important. French and European rail companies have strong historical ties with the Tunisian market. Multilateral financing from the African Development Bank and European Investment Bank supports rail investment in the country.
