Tunisia : 2002 Article IV Consultation-Staff Report and Public Information Notice on the Executive Board Discussion.

Activity was particularly robust in the mechanical-electrical industry, which grew by 14 percent, and the textile industry, which expanded by 12 percent. The authorities now face the challenge of reining in strong demand, which has put pressures on the external position and lowered foreign exchange reserves.
