On May 24, 2006, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund     (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Tunisia.<a href=\"javascript:ol('http:\/\/www.imf.org\/external\/np\/sec\/pn\/2006\/#P24_351');\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"> <strong>Background<\/strong><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Over the past decade, market-oriented reforms and prudent macroeconomic     policies have contributed to placing Tunisia&rsquo;s economic performance among     the best in the region. The authorities have managed the exchange rate     flexibly in a context of restricted external capital flows. Outward     orientation has been a key component of Tunisia&rsquo;s development strategy,     notably through an Association Agreement with the EU, signed in 1995.     Gradual structural reforms combined with a flexible exchange rate policy     since 2000 have supported competitiveness and export growth.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         The Tunisian economy continues to show strength and the outlook is favorable.     Real GDP growth remained relatively strong in 2005 and the external current     account deficit narrowed significantly, notwithstanding unfavorable     agricultural conditions, the expiration of the Agreement on Textiles and     Clothing, and continued tepid demand in Europe. Growth is expected to     accelerate in 2006, as agricultural production recovers and the service and     industry sectors remain strong. While increased financial inflows present a     challenge for monetary policy, the current macroeconomic stance remains     appropriate and inflation subdued.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         The external debt-to-GDP ratio remained broadly unchanged in 2005, at 68     percent, but is expected to decline substantially in 2006, owing to high     growth and large privatization proceeds.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         The central government deficit widened somewhat in 2005 (to 3.2 percent of     GDP, excluding privatization receipts and grants) due to the impact of high     oil prices on subsidies, but is expected to return to about 3 percent in     2006. The authorities continue to raise retail petroleum prices. On the     revenue side, they are undertaking tax policy and administration reforms.     The medium-term objective is to bring public debt from 59 percent GDP to     below 50 percent.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Banking sector indicators improved in 2005. The share of non-performing     loans (NPLs) in total loans declined significantly (to about 21 percent) and     provisioning increased somewhat. While not of systemic proportions, banking     sector vulnerabilities increase the cost of capital and hinder macroeconomic     reform. The recent Financial Sector Assessment Program update should     contribute to sharpening the authorities&rsquo; reform strategy.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Over the medium term, the authorities are aiming to achieve the standard of     living of emerging market OECD countries and transform Tunisia&rsquo;s economic     structure to absorb the rapidly increasing supply of skilled labor. This     will require: (i) strengthening the financial sector by accelerating the     resolution of the high NPLs; (ii) advancing macroeconomic policy reforms;     (iii) improving the investment climate; and (iv) increasing labor market     flexibility.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Tunisia continues to improve the quality and dissemination of statistical     data and increase the transparency of its economic policies. Tunisia has     published all Executive Board documents and staff mission statements in     recent years and intend to publish the 2006 Article IV Staff Report and     Selected Issues papers.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"> <strong>Executive Board Assessment<\/strong><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Executive Directors commended Tunisia&rsquo;s strong economic performance and     resilience to adverse shocks, reflected in robust growth, subdued inflation,     strengthened reserves, and increasing capital inflows, which underscored the     benefits of sustained sound macroeconomic policies and market-oriented     reforms. Directors stressed, however, that growth will need to accelerate in     order to meet Tunisia&rsquo;s objective of reaching lower-tier OECD income levels     and reducing unemployment, and encouraged the authorities to speed up     macroeconomic and structural reforms, to take full advantage of global and     regional integration.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Directors welcomed the authorities&rsquo; continued efforts to contain the fiscal     impact of high oil prices, including recent adjustments in retail petroleum     prices, within the framework of a comprehensive strategy for more efficient     energy use. These measures, combined with ongoing tax reforms and efforts to     improve tax collection will support continued fiscal consolidation and     targeted reductions in public debt over the medium term. Nonetheless,     Directors viewed that the weight of the wage bill will need to be reduced     over the medium-term in order to enhance fiscal policy flexibility.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Directors noted that, faced with increased external capital inflows,     monetary and exchange rate policies had effectively contained inflation     while maintaining strong growth. They encouraged the authorities to remain     vigilant against price pressures and, if needed, complement monetary policy     with fiscal tightening, accelerated trade liberalization, and increased     exchange rate flexibility, in particular, if capital inflows persist.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Directors welcomed the phased liberalization of the external capital account,     and the associated integration of Tunisia&rsquo;s economy with international     markets, and urged timely action on the steps required for advancing to the     next stages. They emphasized that the associated transition to a floating     exchange rate regime will need to be supported by a deepening of money and     exchange markets. In this regard, they were encouraged by the progress     towards the implementation of Tunisia&rsquo;s new monetary policy framework and,     in particular, by the new central bank law and its focus on price stability     as a key objective. Directors underscored the importance of increased     interest and exchange rate flexibility for market development. They welcomed     the authorities&rsquo; commitment to eliminate, in the near future, the     requirement that banks transfer end-of-day foreign exchange balances to the     Central Bank of Tunisia, and emphasized that improved banking sector     conditions are prerequisite for sustaining further substantial advancement.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Directors were encouraged that the authorities have put in place most of the     key recommendations of the 2002 FSAP and welcomed Tunisia&rsquo;s participation in     the 2006 FSAP update, which will help in addressing the remaining weaknesses     in the banking sector, including by sharpening the strategy for reducing     NPLs, and tackling vulnerabilities. In this regard, they welcomed the     authorities&rsquo; intention to publish a report on banking supervision and     financial stability. Given the favorable economic outlook, efforts to     improve banking indicators over the next three-year period should be stepped     up, by increasing provisioning, improving the quality of new credit, and     dealing decisively with the existing stock of NPLs. They stressed that     public banks should be operated on a strictly commercial basis, and that     provisioning rules and sanctions should be fully enforced.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Directors welcomed the authorities&rsquo; decision to use most of the proceeds     from the partial privatization of Tunisie T\u00e9l\u00e9com to retire external debt,     which will facilitate monetary management, contribute to reducing the high     external debt, and strengthen the fiscal position.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Directors noted that accelerating structural reforms will be key to     enhancing the economy&rsquo;s adaptability to a changing global environment and     strengthening Tunisia&rsquo;s attractiveness as a destination for private     investment. In this regard, improving the business climate and further     increasing labor market flexibility are priorities that would also help to     address Tunisia&rsquo;s high unemployment, increasingly concentrated among     university graduates. Directors, while acknowledging that Tunisia has been a     pioneer in the region&rsquo;s trade integration vis-\u00e0-vis the European Union,     urged the intensification of multilateral and regional integration efforts.     They welcomed ongoing customs reforms, and the authorities&rsquo; interest in Fund     technical assistance in this area. Directors also lauded Tunisia&rsquo;s active     participation in efforts to increase economic integration within the Maghreb     region.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">         Directors welcomed the completion of the AML\/CFT Report on the Observance of     Standards and Codes, and noted that the key challenge going forward will be     to bring implementation, enforcement, and supervision of financial sector     compliance in line with AML\/CFT requirements. They commended the authorities&rsquo;     commitment to transparency and welcomed their continuous efforts to improve     the quality of data.          <strong>Table 1.

L&rsquo;honneur, pour l&rsquo;\u00e9quipe de Roger Lemerre, championne d&rsquo;Afrique en 2004, de     renouer avec la gloire de la Tunisie de 1978, qui fut la premi\u00e8re formation     du continent africain \u00e0 gagner en phase finale de Coupe du monde. Depuis, en     28 ans et huit matches de Coupe du monde, le pays n&rsquo;a plus r\u00e9ussi \u00e0     d\u00e9crocher une seule victoire.          Pour les Saoudiens, c&rsquo;est un affront qu&rsquo;il faudra laver, une d\u00e9faite 8-0     face \u00e0 l&rsquo;Allemagne pour leur premi\u00e8re sortie dans le Mondial 2002, qui s&rsquo;est     achev\u00e9 pour eux sans le moindre but marqu\u00e9.          \u00ab\u00a0Ce sera pour nous le match le plus important et le plus difficile\u00a0\u00bb, r\u00e9sume     le d\u00e9fenseur tunisien Hatem Trabelsi, qui cherche \u00e0 rejoindre l&rsquo;Ajax     Amsterdam \u00e0 l&rsquo;issue du Mondial. \u00ab\u00a0Je pense que les deux \u00e9quipes ont une     chance de gagner parce qu&rsquo;elles veulent toutes les deux bien d\u00e9buter dans le     groupe. C&rsquo;est notre troisi\u00e8me phase finale cons\u00e9cutive mais cette fois,     notre objectif est d&rsquo;atteindre les huiti\u00e8mes.\u00a0\u00bb          La Tunisie sera priv\u00e9e de son attaquant d&rsquo;origine br\u00e9silienne Santos,     meilleur buteur des \u00e9liminatoires pour son pays avec six buts.          Mais Lemerre devrait s&rsquo;en tenir \u00e0 un 4-4-2 face au sch\u00e9ma tactique plus     ferm\u00e9 en 4-5-1 de son homologue br\u00e9silien Marcos Paqueta, qui privil\u00e9gie la     contre-attaque.          Paqueta, qui a gagn\u00e9 les titres mondiaux avec le Br\u00e9sil des moins de 17 et     moins de 20 ans, a essay\u00e9 d&rsquo;insuffler \u00e0 ses joueurs l&rsquo;esprit conqu\u00e9rant de     l&rsquo;Arabie saoudite de 1994, qui avait atteint les huiti\u00e8mes de finale au     Mondial am\u00e9ricain.          Les Saoudiens avaient alors battu le Mexique et la Belgique dans le New     Jersey et \u00e0 Washington mais depuis, l&rsquo;Arabie n&rsquo;a plus jamais go\u00fbt\u00e9 \u00e0 la     victoire.
