Tunisia: The World Bank revises downward the growth to 3% in 2022
The World Bank has revised downward its growth forecasts for Tunisia in 2022 from 3.5% in January to 3% in April.
The financial institution explains that this expected growth of 3% in 2022 is supported by a gradual global recovery after the pandemic. Growth remains modest at around 3.5% per year in the medium term, driven by pre-existing structural challenges and economic conditions. The WB also projects an inflation rate of 6.5% in 2022 and 2023 and a poverty rate of 3.4% in 2022 and 3.1% in 2023.
