This sharp increase reflects the pressure exerted on the state budget in the absence of external financing, estimated at more than 12 billion dinars for the entire 2022 fiscal year.
As for the domestic financing needs, they are expected to amount to more than 7 billion dinars, according to the 2022 finance law.
