The Financial harbour

With an estimated development value of approximately $3bn, Tunis Financial Harbour marks the entry of GFH and its Clients into Tunisia, as it positions itself as one of the largest foreign investors in the country.
To be located in the Raoued North, Tunis and just 25 minutes from the Tunis Carthage airport, the Tunis Financial Harbour was formally unveiled to His Excellency Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, President of Tunisia at a special ceremony held in Presidential Carthage Place Tunisia. A Memorandum of Understanding between Gulf Finance House and the Government of Tunisia was signed earlier this year.
A member country of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Tunisia has been ranked as the most competitive country in North Africa by the World Economic Forum in the 2007 edition of its Global Competitiveness Report. It is also the first country on the southern coast of the Mediterranean to have concluded a partnership and cooperation agreement with the European Union, the main component of which is the establishment of a free-trade zone. Since 1987, it has recorded an average growth rate of 5% per annum.
