“Tunisia is now on the right track and will remain a competitive investment destination,” he said.
The second message conveyed by the Prime Minister on this occasion indicates that “the reforms started by Tunisia in recent years have begun to bear fruit, notably legislative reforms in the economic sector, including the adoption of the new Investment Law, the Law on Public-Private Partnership and the Banking Law “.
