Official US dollar rates

The Central Bank publishes several rates for the same currency, and the gap between them is far from trivial. Here is the one that applies to you.

Interbank rate
2.9123 TND

This is the reference rate, used for bank transfers and account operations. It is the rate applied when you receive a transfer from abroad.

Cash exchange
2.9080 TND

This is the counter rate, applied when you exchange banknotes or traveller's cheques. It is always slightly less favourable than the interbank rate: the difference covers the cost of handling cash.

Forward rate
3 Mois 2.9531TND6 Mois 2.9840TND

It shows the rate at which a transaction can be locked in three or six months ahead. Useful if you sign a preliminary agreement today and pay later: it fixes your budget regardless of market moves.

What your USD budget buys in Tunisia

Converting a budget is one thing. Seeing what it actually buys is another. Each tier below opens the listings available under that amount, anywhere in Tunisia.

The US dollar and Tunisian property

The dollar is the international benchmark and drives the price of imported energy and materials, and therefore indirectly the cost of building in Tunisia. Few buyers pay in dollars, but many think in dollars when comparing Tunisia with other investment destinations.

Buying property from abroad is prepared with your bank as much as with your agent. Funds go through a convertible dinar account opened in your name and credited from abroad. That paper trail is what will let you repatriate the proceeds in your original currency when you eventually sell, so keep every transfer receipt: without them, taking money out becomes considerably harder. And do not overlook the rate itself: a few cents of difference look harmless, but on a budget of two hundred thousand euros they already amount to several thousand dinars.
