During a speech at a dialogue conference organized by the magazine “L’Économiste Maghrébin” on “The Revival of Foreign Investments in Tunisia in Light of the New Global Context,” Central Bank Governor Fathi Zouhair Ennouri underscored the success of Tunisia’s participation in the 2024 spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group, held recently in Washington. The conference took place on the evening of Wednesday, April 24, 2024, marking the magazine’s 25th forum.
He said: “The participating Tunisian delegation did not go only to talk to international financial funds, but furthermore went to meet the American, European and Arab global financial community and all participating nationalities on issues related to climate change, energy transition, and others.”
“Tunisia gave the best research paper on managing risks linked to climate change”
Ennouri emphasised that he delivered a report on behalf of Tunisia during a round table bringing together 25 Ministers of Finance and Economy on climate change and the management of related risks. The best research paper was certified by Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, who confirmed that the recommendations of the meeting would be the points he addressed during his report.
He added that he requested all the ambassadors and secretary of state for renewable energies in the United States of America that he met to dedicate an awareness day in their countries in the presence of Tunisian delegations and officials to present Tunisia’s competitive advantages, and urged them to invest there.
Ennouri revealed that it should be known that Tunisia has high capacities at all levels, adding that he spoke with the Secretary of State for Renewable Energy of the United States of America to seek investments in the renewable energy sector in Tunisia.
He stated that Tunisia accomplished good economic results during the year 2023, as it managed to maintain the solidity of the national economy despite the financial problems we experienced, adding that many legal reforms are currently being executed in progress, such as the Foreign Exchange Code, the Investment Law, the Financial Exclusion Law and others.
