Sotipapier flies under Wall Street’s radar, but its Tunis-listed paper and packaging business sits at the crossroads of rising MENA consumption, FX risk, and global packaging demand. Regional consumption growth: Gradual expansion in North African and Mediterranean consumer demand for packaged goods supports medium-term volumes. Global demand: US and European consumption trends drive demand for finished goods that rely on packaging, affecting export-linked orders in the wider region.

Instead, coverage - where it exists - is typically handled by regional brokers or local research shops serving North African and MENA-focused investors.
