The growth rate for 2013 was revised down. At a meeting held Tuesday, April 16, 2013, Elyes Fakhfakh, Minister of Finance announced that Tunisia expects a growth rate of 4% for the year 2013, instead 4.5% predicted before.
This decrease represents a correlation between the government’s forecasts and the IMF. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has set the growth rate of GDP to 4% in 2013: “I think the growth rate in 2013 will be 4% in Tunisia,” said Amine Mati, representative of the IMF.
