World Bank Vice President for the Middle East and North Africa, Ferid Belhaj, has reiterated the financial body's readiness to support Tunisia's economic reform plans.

This came in a report by the Middle East Monitor on Thursday saying Belhaj stressed on the importance of the reforms and measures approved by Tunisia for accelerating economic conditions in the country.

"The forum will provide an opportunity to introduce these reforms and help restore Tunisia's attractiveness and enhance its position on the investment map."

Meanwhile, Tunisian Minister of Economy and Planning, Samir Saied, highlighted the difficult economic and financial conditions the country is experiencing and which have gone high by the coronavirus pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian war.

"The next phase will focus on launching reforms and improving the business climate and simplifying the investment path."

Tunisia is scheduled to review the public sector wage bill as part of an economic reforms package and the reform package also includes resetting tax revenues and easing subsidies.
