Tunisian dollar-denominated bonds fell to record lows on Tuesday after authorities banned meetings at the headquarters of the opposition Ennahda party. Most Tunisian bonds are now at almost half their face value after falling by between 0.2 and 1.3 cents.

The country is witnessing a severe economic crisis exacerbated by the repercussions of the outbreak of the Corona pandemic, and the high cost of importing energy and basic materials following the Russian-Ukrainian war. The central bank is currently issuing bonds, which are currently in a weak state due to fears of a possible default.
