- Simplicity in settlement procedures especially following the promulgation of the new investment Law 71-2016 of 30/09/2016.
- The total dismantling of customs duties with the EU and the Maghreb.
- Easy access to the markets of Libya and Algeria.
- 10 competitiveness clusters or operational technopoles, two operational economic parks with high-quality services, a park dedicated to the aeronautics industry and a hundred industrial zones spread all over the country.

- The signing of the association and free trade agreement with the European Union in 1995, Tunisia obtained the status of advanced partner in November 2012. This allows it to have commercial advantages, and thus gives its exports priority over European markets.

- Tunisia has been an original member of the World Trade Organization since 1995
- The designation in May 2015 of Tunisia as a major ally not a member of NATO. As a result, Tunisia becomes the 16th country to benefit from this status, alongside Egypt, Japan, Morocco and Bahrain. This gives it a guarantee of NATO defense and military assistance.
