Tunisia-4.1 billion dollars illicitly transferred abroad since 2015

Huge funds proceed to be illegally transferred from Tunisia to abroad. According to the Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights, “the extent of funds which have been illegally carried from Tunisia to abroad has reached 4.1 billion dollars, or 11.4 billion dinars since 2015”.

Abdeljelil Bedoui, professor of economics and president of the forum reveals to this end that illegal transfers of funds abroad were of the order of 1.6 billion dollars (4.4 billion dinars), before the revolution.

Scrutinizing the current model of growth which has been inefficient and revealed its limits for more than a decade, he estimated that this model is in total opposition with the constitutional gains secured by the Constitution of 2014.

The economics professor emphasised that the foreign exchange funds illegally transferred abroad would have been enough to finance development and meet people’s demands for jobs.

He also considered that the implementation of these achievements entails a minimum of national solidarity, a more powerful role for the State as a guarantor of the various rights, better redistribution of wealth and income and interest keener on social issues (health, education, etc.), reports the TAP agency.
