Several qualitative and quantitative lessons can be drawn from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on companies in Tunisia in 2020. Certain features of the pandemic’s impact in Tunisia, such as its asymmetry, in particular in the services sector, are consistent with trends observed in other countries around the world. Moreover, the lessons learned from the COVID-19 experience are important for building resilience in the face of a paradigm change in economic development options. Indeed, with the onset of climate change, whose effects have been particularly strong in 2022, the entire world is entering in an era of multiple crises with cascading effects. Building resilience is key to integrating new economic development models in Tunisia and all other developing countries.
