Sustainable Environmental Investment: Supporting an Innovative Food Company within the Restructuring Program with 9.5 Million Dinars
The Steering Committee of the Financial Restructuring Support Line for Small and Medium Enterprises approved today, during its meeting, the case of an industrial company operating in the agri-food sector with a value of approximately 9.5 million dinars.

The company’s activity aligns with the national strategy for the industrial sector, as it valorizes olive mill waste by extracting oil from olive pits and converting the remaining paste into packaged biological heating products. Notably, most of these products are intended for export.
The committee, chaired by the Minister of Industry, Mines, and Energy Fatma Thabet Chiboub, in the presence of Kamel Hendaoui, Director General of the General Directorate for the Promotion of SMEs, as well as representatives from the Central Bank of Tunisia, the Ministry of Finance, the Tunisian Guarantee Company, and the Banking and Financial Council, reviewed the cases of three companies, two of which operate in the building materials sector.
On this occasion, reports were presented on the follow-up of the implementation of the economic and financial restructuring programs for the first and second years since their launch. The expert outlined various economic and financial indicators, which showed that the two companies succeeded in overcoming the financial and social difficulties they had been facing thanks to their benefit from the line’s interventions. Additionally, a request was made to extend the implementation period of the financial restructuring program for another company in the food industry sector.
It is worth noting that since its inception, the Financial Restructuring Support Line for SMEs has approved restructuring programs for 150 companies, with total state commitments in this framework amounting to around 331 million dinars, distributed as follows: 250 million dinars in rescheduling loans, 50 million dinars in contribution loans, 1 million dinar in financial and economic diagnostic study grants and support operations, and 139.1 million dinars in grants for monitoring the implementation of restructuring programs.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Industry, the Financial Restructuring Support Line for SMEs falls within the framework of supporting economic enterprises in overcoming temporary financial difficulties, ensuring their sustainability, and preserving jobs.
