20 Juin 2020

Tunis, Tunisia, June 20 (Infosplusgabon) - Tunisia's foreign exchange reserve stock has declined from 139 to 131 days of imports, the Central Bank of Tunisia (BCT) announced on Friday.

The BCT said the decrease is due to Tunisia's payment of 418 million euros as principal and interest on the 400 million euro Euro-bond issue, mobilized in 2005 on the international bond market.

Tunisia's net foreign currency holdings increased last year by 54 days of imports, from 77 to 131 days of imports on 18 July 2019.
