The United States of America reiterated its forceful commitment to the people of Tunisia and their democratic transition by signing a sovereign loan guarantee agreement with the Tunisian Government.
The loan guarantee will help the government of Tunisia access international private capital and strengthen its capacity to manage the transition to an economically sound and prosperous democracy.
The guarantee will make it easier for the Tunisian Government to borrow from international markets so as to be able to provide critical services to the citizens.
“We look forward to continuing to work with the Tunisian government and people as they lay the groundwork for a future of economic prosperity that empowers women and youth, strengthens civil society and solidifies the foundations of democracy,” said Ambassador William B. Taylor, Special Coordinator for Middle East Transitions at the U.S. Department of State.
