The European Commission on behalf of the EU, has positively confirmed on 30 October the capital expenditure of a €150 million under the macro-financial aid programme to Tunisia.
The programme was carefully tailored to strengthen the country’s reformations to combat corruption and positively enhance its tax system, its social protection system, and the necessary quality of public administration.
“This disbursement underlines our sustained commitment to supporting Tunisia and its people. While the country has delivered on key policy commitments these past years, pursuing and deepening economic and structural reforms remains essential to building on Tunisia’s democratic and political achievements, and securing a more prosperous future. We thus stand ready to work closely with Tunisia to help deliver on the reforms necessary to secure investment, jobs and inclusive growth for the benefit of its people, notably its youth”, said EU Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs, Taxation and Customs, Pierre Moscovici.
This is the third and final disbursement under the second Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) programme to Tunisia and adequately serves the practical conclusion of an essential set of policy measures aimed to properly support the country‘s economic transition.
