Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb chaired a government meeting on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, devoted to two items: the development of maritime transport and the modernization of its fleet, and the implementation status of the roadmap on electronic payment methods.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister's Office, the government opened its session by hearing a presentation on the development of maritime transport and the modernization of its fleet. The file is among the national priorities set by the President of the Republic. The project complements the national strategy for modernizing and developing commercial ports, which is currently under way as part of an integrated approach. Its aim is to advance this strategic sector and deliver quality services in line with international standards, while promoting foreign trade, particularly exports, which have seen steady growth in recent years.
The statement added that the presentation covered efforts to develop port infrastructure and logistics facilities, as well as to renew the national maritime fleet, for both freight and passenger transport.
As part of the modernization of electronic payment methods, the government heard an initial presentation on the implementation status of the relevant roadmap. The file will be examined at the next government meeting, according to the statement.
The presentation focused on adapting the regulatory framework, developing electronic payment solutions and digitizing payment flows, developing electronic payment methods by sector, and extending digital solutions across various sectors of activity and public utility services.
