Tunisia- Bassam Ennaifer : “New exchange law will contribute to greater openness of economy” [Video]

In a statement to Tunisie Numérique, today, Friday, March 15, 2024, financial and economic analyst Bassam Ennaifer stated that after a long wait, the exchange law was finally approved, after the significant controversy that accompanied it, which reached the point of withdrawing the law from the House of Representatives by the Central Bank.

Ennaifer added that the exchange law has an economic priority, as this would contribute to easing transactions for economic establishments through the gradual liberalization of various operations in hard currency. It is also likely that this law could contribute to creating new rules for dealing with digital assets through the possibility of circulation with these assets.

The same source stressed that it is also possible for the law to bring about new changes in sanctions and the declaration of property and accounts abroad, emphasising that the new exchange will contribute to making the Tunisian economy more open and dealing with foreign investors more, underscoring that this law code can only have a positive impact on the Tunisian economy.
