Tunisia's Ministry of Finance, through its Directorate General of State Holdings, published terms of reference for an upcoming call for candidates to draw up a shortlist of individuals to represent the state and other public-sector shareholders on the boards of the public banks Banque Nationale Agricole, Société Tunisienne de Banque, BH Bank and Banque Tunisienne de Solidarité as part of a reconstitution of these boards. Appointments require the candidate to sign a director’s charter, obtain approval by the ordinary general meeting, and then be designated by ministerial order following the agreement of the Central Bank of Tunisia. Eligibility conditions include Tunisian nationality, being a natural person with full civic rights, meeting integrity and fitness standards, and not being subject to disqualifications under the Commercial Companies Code and the Banking and Financial Institutions Law, with additional screening for bankruptcy-related convictions, tax and social security irregularities, and inclusion in Central Bank registers for contentious credit and unpaid cheques. Conflict-of-interest restrictions cover, among other things, not holding a direct or indirect stake in a public bank, not being employed by a bank or financial institution, limits on holdings in significant clients or suppliers exceeding 3 percent, and restrictions on certain other mandates and related-party links. The minimum profile requires at least a bac+4 university degree and 10 years’ experience, with expertise expected in areas such as financial analysis, accounting, strategic planning, governance, internal control and risk management, information systems, payment systems, and banking operations. The selection process is structured in two stages, with file-based preselection contributing 70 percent of the final score and interviews 30 percent, and the scoring methodology allocating points across qualifications, training, banking and financial experience, senior leadership roles, and prior board mandates. The review commission may request missing information, with candidates required to respond within three working days of notification.
