TUNISIA

Early in 2011,Tunisia burst onto the global map as the first North African country to take to the streets in sweeping protests that resulted in the ouster of the country's president of 23 years, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali . Before this, the country had made progress on growth and poverty reduction over the previous two decades, but had failed to address a persistently high unemployment rate (13.3% in 2009) and growing political malaise. When the uprising began, Tunisia’s economy was relatively strong. In 2010, real growth increased to 3.8%, the fiscal deficit was at 1.3% of GDP and public debt decreased to 40% of GDP. Since the revolution, Tunisia has requested that the World Bank engage in a new program, building on the revolution’s achievements and breaking from past practices with new commitments to transparency and citizen participation.
