Tunisia-Fayçal Derbel: The coming weeks will be decisive

Speaking to Tunisie Numérique, Ennahdha MP Fayçal Derbel declared that the economic situation in the nation is extremely difficult.

Underscoring the specificity of the current crisis, Derbel reported that the upcoming weeks will be decisive for Tunisia.

He explained that Tunisia is preparing a significant visit by members of the rating agency Fitch.

He added that like general expenses, the country will require 4.2 billion dinars for loan repayments and 1.7 billion dinars for wage payments.
He, therefore, called for finding the needed resources to cope with the worsening budget deficit, specifying that Tunisia could be forced to obtain a bridging loan to cover its expenses.
