Tunisia recently confirmed that it was able to pay all installments of its internal and external debt in principal and interest for the year 2023. Finance Minister Siham Namsia said that Tunisia had resorted to the Central Bank to pay urgent foreign debts.
Economic experts attribute Tunisia’s ability to repay all its internal. and external loans for 2023 mainly to borrowing, and not to the development of. its internal incomes. Experts warned that borrowing from the central bank would negatively affect the local dinar exchange rate.
