The Executive Board of the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT), meeting on November 26, 2014, noted, again, further negative developments following the widening of the current account deficit (+ 29% or 1,439 MTD), over the first ten months of the year, reaching 6,396 MTD, the equivalent of 7.7% of GDP against 6.5% during the same period of 2013.
This is the result of the continuous expansion of the trade balance deficit (+ 19.1% at the end of October 2014) to 11.8 billion dinars, it said.
