Tunisia's three-day strike, involving economic segments including that of insurance, is due to end today.
The strike began on 23 June and is due to run to 25 June, following a call from the General Federation of Banks and Financial Institutions, a branch of the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT), according to news platform and aggregator APA News. So far, the action has resulted in disruptions for individuals and businesses as negotiations remain in deadlock, and tensions over wage demands persist.
In separate statements, the Banking and Financial Council (CBF), representing employers, and the UGTT, made their stances clear. The CBF pointed out economic constraints financial institutions face, while the UGTT noted employee expectations and safeguarding of purchasing power.
Despite these differences, it has been observed that both sides have expressed the desire to maintain sector stability.
According to Allianz Commercial’s report, titled ‘Political violence and civil unrest trends 2025’, the impact of civil unrest or strikes, riots and civil commotion activity “is the political risk and violence exposure companies fear most”.
In November 2025, there was another strike in Tunisia involving the insurance sector. In that action, risk intelligence and mitigation platform Datasurfr recommended businesses prioritise insurance documentation in order to ensure continuity and operations.
