Dear Members and Friends,
I am pleased to introduce to you the 2011-2013 Activity Report covering the
term April 2011 to December 2013, under the slogan “From Vision to Action”.
I will not go over all the activities undertaken by AmCham Tunisia as they are
listed in details in the Report between your hands, but let me highlight two routine actions which I think are the essence of our mission:
• Lobby for Tunisia, during our Door Knock Mission, by sensitizing the US Administration, Congress and private sector to Tunisia potentials and by introducing the investment incentives to attract FDI,
• Lobby in favour of US companies for them to operate in a more enabling environment by sensitizing the Tunisian decision makers to their specific needs and by assisting them
to overcome the complexity of the Tunisian paper work.
What actually characterize this ending term are the positions we have taken up and the innovative
initiatives that we have introduced.
AmCham MENA Council Chairmanship:
AmCham Tunisia has gained visibility in the MENA region since it took over the AmCham MENA
Council Chairmanship in July 2011. In this capacity, AmCham Tunisia has been invited either to
co-organize or actively participate in all regional meetings, the most important ones being: the US
Secretary’s Global Business Conference (Washington, DC. February 21-22, 2012), the 9th edition of
the G8 BMENA Forum for the Future (Tunis, 11-13 December, 2012), the 2013 Harvard Arab Alumni
Association Conference under the theme “The Arab World: From Revolution to Transformation” (Tunis,
21 March, 2013), and the Conference “MENA Investment and Entrepreneurship: Change Brings Opportunity» (Washington, D.C., 11 October, 2013).
PNB NAPEO Tunisia Local Advisory Board Chairmanship:
As AmCham Tunisia president, I was nominated chair of the Local Advisory Board of the US initiated
program Partners for New Beginning, North Africa Partnership for Economic Opportunity (PNB NAPEO), in partnership with Aspen Institute, under which many national and regional activities have been
launched such as FICRA , Smart Center and the youth Ideation Camp.
Innovative Initiatives:
• Activity management: AmCham Tunisia was restructured with sectorial committees to share focused responsibilities while giving more elbow space to the staff. AmCham Tunisia also set up a
binding code of ethics;
• As Amcham MENA Council Chair, AmCham Tunisia initiated the Council annual in May 2012 which
has become since a tradition along with the MENA Women Awards;
• AmCham Tunisia sought and obtained the accreditation of the US Chamber of Commerce;
• Regional Chapters: To decentralize its activities and to reach out to its members throughout the
country, AmCham Tunisia created two regional chapters, one in Sfax (October 2011) and one in Bizerta (April, 2013);
• Junior Chapters: AmCham Tunisia signed two partnership MoUs with the Tunis Business School
and the Tunis Polytechnic School whereby students are introduced to the business community and
entrepreneurship.
I look forward to your comments and proposals to further reinforce AmCham Tunisia and enrich its activities.

II. Economy
Due to its limited natural resources, Tunisia has focused on strengthening its human potential. The bulk of the national budget has been allocated to education, health-care, housing and social services. The private sector is encouraged to play a leading role in economic growth and, as a result, Tunisians have created a modern, diversified market-oriented
economy based on an efficient agricultural sector, a growing manufacturing sector, and a
thriving tourism industry.
Tunisia’s GNP and social indicators have risen steadily since independence, averaging
more than 3% annually in recent years and has also been reducing its debt levels.. During
the last years, international financial institutions have frequently cited Tunisia as “a model
for success” highlighting its middle class underpinnings, generally well-functioning institutions, low poverty rates, and relatively well-educated population, especially when compared with other countries in the region.

products, including its internationally renowned olive oil.
Its primary trading partners are France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the
Maghreb countries.

Tunisia’s thriving economy creates an attractive environment for investors from the European Community, Japan and the United States. During 2012, foreign direct investment
(in all sectors) reached US$1.5 bn, compared to US$0.9 bn in 2011, recording hence an
increase of 55%.

jobs.
They have found an environment that is similar to many southern European countries in
addition to attractive benefits.

countries, and on top of North African countries according to ease of doing business
ranking.

Union (in 1995). This agreement provides for a free trade zone and access to the EU market. In November 2012,
Tunisia gained Advanced Partner Status, which offers trade advantages, reinforces the
economic agreements with the European Union, and gives priority to Tunisian exports to
the European markets.
Tunisia has been a Member of the WTO since 1994 (Founding Member) and is also a preferred site for investors looking to tap in the sub-Saharan and Arab markets. It has signed
the following preferential agreements:
• a bilateral agreement establishing a free trade zone with Turkey;
• an agreement establishing a free trade zone with EFTA countries since 2004;
• Agadir Free Trade Agreement between Jordan, Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia signed in
2004; and bilateral agreements establishing free trade zones with Libya, Egypt, Morocco,
Jordan and Iraq.
Tunisia is also a privileged site for investors wishing to operate in neighboring markets
such as Libya and Algeria.
Libya is the second largest trading partner of Tunisia, after the EU.

II. Trade between Tunisia and the United States
Trade between Tunisia and the United States has been growing for the last decade, accessing the Tunisian market presents some challenges for U.S. companies
Department of Commerce trade statistics for 2012 show Tunisian imports from United
11
States at $593.9 million, about a 4%increase compared to 2010($571.181 million), and
Tunisian exports to the United States at $737.9 million, a (82% increase compared to the
same period in 2010, ($405.464 million). This Significant hike is primarily due to oil exported to the U.S. for refinery.
Most U.S. investment in Tunisia was primarily in the hydrocarbons sector, but U.S. companies now successfully invest in offshore manufacturing industries, textile production and
electrical/mechanical equipment manufacturing.
There are more than 80 U.S. companies resident in Tunisia. Offshore companies can
be established under an attractive regime that offers significant tax incentives to export-oriented investors. In the tourism industry, only three of Tunisia’s 800+ hotels are
affiliated with U.S. groups.
To date, total U.S. investment in Tunisia (energy included) is estimated at about $1.3 billion
and has contributed to the creation of more than 18,800 jobs.
In order to assist U.S. companies in gaining access to the Tunisian market, the United
States signed a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) in October 2002 to
formally discuss bilateral trade and investment issues. Follow on TIFA Councils were held
in October 2003, June 2005, March 2008, and March 2012.
The United States and Tunisia are also poised to begin 5 negotiations on an Open Skies
Agreement, which would eventually lead to direct flights.
Tunisia and the United States have signed a Bilateral Investment Treaty and a Non-Double
Taxation Treaty.

MAIN EVENTS
2011-2013
2011 AmCham Tunisia Golf Tournament
(Tunis, June 4, 2011)
The American Chamber of Commerce in Tunisia organized
its annual Golf Tournament on June 4th, 2011, at the
Residence Golf Course, Gammarth.
Three prizes were distributed to the best players in the three
categories.
The annual Golf Tournament is one of the best AmCham
Tunisia occasions for business networking in a relaxing environment.
AmCham Tunisia SPECIAL EVENT: Meeting with
H.E. Mr. Beji Caid Essebsi, Prime Minister
For its first high level meeting, AmCham Tunisia invited H.E.
Mr. Béji Caied Essebsi to speak on ‘Invest in Tunisia”. The
event took place on Thursday June 9 at the Hotel Concorde.
Opening the session, Mrs. Amel Bouchamaoui Hammami,
AmCham Tunisia President, briefly introduced AmCham
Tunisia program under the slogan “From Vision to Action”. She
then gave a quick overview of the US economic presence in
Tunisia stressing that only 77 US companies, employing approximately 14 000 Tunisians,
were operating in the country, which does not reflect the strong ties between the 2
countries, “there is ample room for more” she indicated.
On his part, H.E. Mr. Gordon Gray, US Ambassador to
Tunis, congratulated Tunisia on the Revolution and
AmCham Tunisia on its new image. After listing the US
assistance to Tunisia in this transitional period as well as
to the Tunisian Red Crescent facing the inflow of
refugees from Libya, Ambassador reiterated the US
27
Administration support bilaterally and multilaterally, highlighting the high level delegation,
headed by Mr. Jose Fernandez, Assistant Secretary for Economic, Energy and Business
Affairs participating in the International Conference on Investment on 16-17 June, 2011.
Welcomed by a standing ovation of an over packed room, Prime Minister Caied Essebsi,
started by congratulating AmCham Tunisia on holding the first democratic elections in
the post-revolution Tunisia and on electing a lady as a president. He went on expressing
his pleasure in addressing the Tunisian-American business community, reminding that,
first and foremost, Tunisia is relying on its own to move forward but also on friends and
economic partners, among which the USA. In this context, he indicated that, in Deauville,
President Obama praised the Tunisian revolution and affirmed the US commitment to
accompany Tunisia in this critical period. Prime Minister Caied Essebsi made it a point that
Tunisia will prove to the world that being a Muslim Arab country can be compatible with
freedom and democracy.
Prime Minister Beji Caid Essebsi, with his usual open-mindedness and frankness, reacted
to the many questions asked by the floor; the main responses were:
- It is up to the Government to insure a business friendly environment (social stability,
investment incentives and improved infrastructure) and it is up to the business men/
women to insure job-creating activities,
- Tunisia, like any post revolution country, is going through unstable periods, but the
Government is working hard to put an end to strikes and sit-ins,
- The proposal to create a Tunisian Peace Corps is well noted and will be transmitted to
the competent Department.
North Africa- based Chambers of Commerce and
Business Associations Forum
(Washington D.C., June 12-18, 2011)
AmCham Tunisia Media Center and Export Unit Officer, Mr.
Hassen Khadri participated in a week-long business

3. The social climate/ policy
Less than 15% of the investors surveyed, complain of the infrastructure, a proportion that

Intel Ideation Camp
(Tunis, October 24 and 25, 2013)
The American Chamber of Commerce in Tunisia in
partnership with the Tunis Business School, the Education
for Employment Foundation (EFE-Tunisia) and Intel
Corporation organized the third training session of Intel
Ideation Camp, on October 24th and 25th, 2013 at Tunis
Business School
This new original concept called’’ Intel Youth Enterprise”,
aims to provide university students basic training on the
art of ideation, entrepreneurship and innovation, through
an immersive learning experience. Participants will improve their creative capacity, find
inspiration, learn to identify problems and build ideas into concrete concepts, prototypes
and projects that can be further developed in the future.
During the two days of training, participants learned how to build their career and create
their own future. It is an innovator’s journey to stimulate participants to go through 6 steps
innovator’s process, all the way from understanding the challenge to pitch their idea in
front of a jury.
During the first day, Mrs. Amira Guermazi, trainer of the Ideation Camp described
innovation and entrepreneurship process. To be successful innovators, they need the “gofor-it” attitude, to be confident, to believe in their dreams and that they can make things
change. Innovation is, first of all, a team sport so we create teams of 4 participants with
complementary skills (designer, techie and businessman). Working on challenging case
studies, the participants learned, during the first day, to well understand the challenge
before looking for solutions, to turn the problem into business opportunities and where
others see limitations, they should see opportunities.
The second day started with the stage “ideate”. All of the teams were asked to come up
with a lot of ideas to solve their problems. At this stage, quantity is over quality, there
are no crazy, no stupid and no unrealistic ideas. They learned the brainstorming and the
reverse brainstorming techniques, to have a positive attitude within the team, don’t be
critical and build on each other’s idea.
At the end of the second day, each team pitched their idea in front of a jury composed of
Mr Hidoussi, AmCham Tunisia Vice president, Mr Gadhoum and Mr Ben Abdallah, TBS
Dean. The 5D Glasses to live history project was select by the jury.
The Ideation Camp was an opportunity for the students to improve their entrepreneurial
skills, to build a strong network of like-minded innovators, and inspiration to become
successful entrepreneurs.
