Since 2011, in a post-revolutionary context, the debate on the CGC in Tunisia has resurfaced with each finance law. In this debate, the surge in compensation charges is most often attributed to the surge in world prices and/or the increase in consumption of subsidized products. Such an analysis obscures a multitude of variables that are the expression of the economic policies implemented and that contribute to the variability of compensation charges. However, it is precisely the identification of these factors that can provide a reliable explanation of the reduction or increase in budgetary allocations granted under compensation and inaugurate avenues of reflection on the possibilities of reforming the subsidy system. And it is to the identification of these factors that this contribution is devoted.
