Tunisia

Tunisia is a developing North African economy more diversified than its oil-rich neighbors, drawing on manufacturing, tourism, and agriculture, but it has struggled with debt, unemployment, and stagnation since the 2011 revolution.

Where the Arab Spring began, Tunisia became the region's most promising democracy, but economic malaise and a recent slide back toward one-man rule have tested that legacy.

Key Sectors

Key sectors include manufacturing (textiles, automotive parts, and electronics for European markets), tourism, agriculture (olive oil — Tunisia is a leading exporter — and dates), and phosphates.
