Tunisian tycoon Habib Essayeh, CEO of Euro-Cycles, has seen a notable decrease in his wealth due to the recent drop in the market value of his Euro-Cycles shares. The decline is attributed to the sell-off on the Tunis Stock Exchange, causing a dip in the company’s shares.
According to data tracked Billionaire.Africa, Essayeh, a top figure among Tunisia’s wealthiest individuals, has experienced a $1.33-million loss in the market value of his Euro-Cycles stake over the past 13 days — reflecting the bearish sentiment on the Tunis Stock Exchange.
