Tunisia a Safe and Sensible Place to Invest

Tunisia may not imme­di­ately top the untrained investor’s list of good places to invest in. Most peo­ple think of a far away desert coun­try much removed from the West­ern way of life.

How­ever it is all too easy to for­get that Tunisia is in fact Africa’s north­ern most coun­try and just lit­er­ally a short plane hop from Europe to this actu­ally beau­ti­ful and exotic place with five star resorts, white sandy beaches, a deep and diverse cul­ture and of course fan­tas­tic weather.

This is pre­cisely what DSR Asset Man­age­ment Ltd. saw and more when they added The Dunes to their port­fo­lio, an excit­ing, world class resort con­sist­ing of stu­dio to three bed­room apart­ments in Sousse, all right next to the marina, beach and airport.

Prices start from just £22,000 with an inde­pen­dently pre­dicted cap­i­tal growth of 25% when the devel­op­ment is fully con­structed, with 10–14% net rental returns. Also because of the nature of the resort, it’s facil­i­ties and of course Tunisia itself, it is sure to pro­vide a year round get away.

The prop­erty mar­ket in Tunisia only adds to the attrac­tive­ness of the oppor­tu­nity. It has recently been voted in the top five des­ti­na­tions for pro­vid­ing long term invest­ment gains and it already has one of the most devel­oped domes­tic prop­erty mar­kets in the world, with 75% of peo­ple own­ing their own homes (com­pared with 71% in the U.K.) mak­ing it very sta­ble and a def­i­nite for growth. Prof­its in Tunisia are cur­rently more likely because as an emerg­ing mar­ket, its prices are low but are strongly pre­dicted to climb, the IMF pre­dicted a 4% growth in Tunisia’s econ­omy by the end of this year alone.

Invest­ing prop­erty in coun­tries like Tunisia is seen as a safe bet because they do not have a boom and bust econ­omy that many more devel­oped nations do, mean­ing no sud­den dete­ri­o­ra­tion in mar­kets, and so no losses. Also Tourism remains to be an econ­omy that is grow­ing in Tunisia, so prop­er­ties like The Dunes are set to fol­low suit and increase in value. The returns from own­ing prop­erty abroad are much greater than leav­ing money in banks and for a while last year, arguably safer.

The cur­rent eco­nomic sit­u­a­tion really does mean that there is money to be made if invested in safe, strong, sta­ble and grow­ing mar­kets like that in Tunisia. DSR are offer­ing an excel­lent oppor­tu­nity to do so.
