The consequences of the current crisis vary considerably from country to country and from sector to sector. In this paper, we examine how industrialization and inclusive economic growth of Tunisia is being affected by the current crisis. This work focuses on examine critically the importance, performance and underweighting of the industrial sector .Both theoretical and empirical evidence show somewhat unsatisfactory industrial development. The paper finally attempts to explain the way forward (beyond the impasse), by providing alternative approaches, opportunities. To conclude, on using a panel model for a samples of Tunisia covering the period (2008-2022). The results of VECM clearly show the existence of a relationship between industrialization and inclusive economic growth in Tunisia.
