Investment in the Services Sector and Economic Growth

This study examines the impact of investment in the services sector on economic growth in Tunisia from 2003 to 2021. Combining theoretical and practical analyses, it reveals a significant correlation between these investments and economic growth, particularly in sectors such as hotels, restaurants, transport and communications. Recommendations for decision-makers include promoting investment through tax incentives and vocational training. The study acknowledges its limitations, and proposes areas for future research into the specific determinants of investment and international comparisons for sustainable and inclusive development.
