Tunisia based leasing company Arab Tunisian Lease has proposed distributing a total dividend of 13 million Tunisian dinars (US$4.1 million) for the 2025 financial year, according to disclosures reported by Financial Afrik.
The proposed payout reflects the company’s financial performance over the past year and will be subject to approval by shareholders at the upcoming general meeting. At current exchange rates, 13 million Tunisian dinars is approximately US$4.1 million.
The dividend proposal signals confidence in the company’s earnings capacity and capital position despite a challenging macroeconomic environment in Tunisia. Leasing firms play a critical role in the Tunisian financial ecosystem by providing asset financing solutions to small and medium sized enterprises, supporting equipment acquisition, vehicle financing and industrial expansion.
Arab Tunisian Lease operates within a sector that has faced tighter liquidity conditions, rising funding costs and broader economic headwinds in recent years. However, the decision to recommend a cash distribution suggests that management believes the company has maintained adequate profitability and balance sheet strength.
Dividend distributions are closely watched by investors as indicators of corporate health and future outlook. A payout of this scale may be viewed positively by shareholders seeking yield, particularly in emerging markets where income generating equities remain attractive.
The proposal will now move to shareholder review and approval, after which the company is expected to announce key dates for record eligibility and payment execution.
