Country Intelligence Information

 

            Country:           Tunisia

            Date:                19/06/2012  00:00:00

            Source:            Economist Intelligence Unit

 

            Economy:         The recovery of some sectors is faltering

 

            There are signs that the economic recovery reported in the first quarter of 2012 has begun to falter in

            some sectors, putting in doubt the government's 3.5% GDP growth target for 2012, following the

            2.2% contraction of GDP (according to official figures) in 2011. Overall manufacturing output grew by

            5.5% in the first quarter of 2012 compared with the same period of 2011, but production in

            construction materials, mechanical and electrical industries and textiles began to falter in March.

            Export earnings for most goods increased in the first three months of 2012, but earnings of

            mechanical and electrical goods, textiles and energy faltered in April, reflecting weaker demand in

            the EU. The only export sectors to show an increase in revenue in April were food (reflecting strong

            demand in Libya) and mining products (reflecting the recovery of production as the disruption caused

            by strikes and sit‑ins has eased).

 

            Contraction in these areas has offset continuing recovery of tourism activity and expansion in

            agriculture. Tourist numbers in the first four months were 52% higher than in the same period of 2011,

            at 1.4m, but still 12% down on the same period of 2010. Tourism receipts to the end of May were

            TD921m (US$628.2m), 36% higher than in the same period of 2011 Agriculture is set for strong

            expansion this year, with cereal output expected to be at least 2.5m tonnes, 8.7% more than in

            2011, and production of some other crops expected to put on double‑digit growth. Among other

            promising signs, investment in industry grew by 8.3% to TD1.2bn in the first four months of 2012, and

            imports of equipment, an indicator of capital investment, have grown strongly. Foreign investment in

            the first four months was 21% higher, year on year, at TD628m.

 

            Against this, inflationary pressures have increased sharply. Average inflation was 5.5% at the end of

            April compared with 3.5% in the same period of 2011 partly as a result of rising food and clothing

            prices aggravated by increased demand from neighbouring Libya. Meanwhile, the recovery of the

            stockmarket, the Bourse de Tunis, came to an end in May, and the main index, the TunIndex began

            to slide amid weak trading, reaching 5,035.4 on June 1st, 6.6% above its level at the start of the year.

 

            The external account presents a mixed picture. A 39% widening of the trade deficit to TD3.3bn

            (US$2.3bn) in the year to the end of April caused the current‑account deficit to widen to TD2.1bn.

            However, the overall balance‑of‑payments deficit narrowed by 69% to TD725m in the first four months

            owing to a TD1.35bn surplus on financial operations.

 

            Risk:     Sovereign risk

 

            Negative. The government will find it challenging to meet its external debt obligations given the large

 

 

            budget and current‑account deficits and as borrowing costs for Tunisia on international markets have

            risen. However, Tunisia will receive substantial foreign aid.

 

            Currency risk

 

            Negative. The likelihood of a break‑up of the euro area has increased given fears that Greece may

            leave the euro zone. A break‑up would put pressure on the dinar, which is pegged to a basket of

            currencies, of which the euro accounts for two‑thirds.

 

            Banking sector risk

 

            Stable. Economic growth in Tunisia is forecast to be moderate in 2012‑13 owing to a contraction in

            the euro zone and domestic unrest. This will lead to an increase in non‑performing loans. The new

            government also needs to decide what to do with the stakes in banks held by relatives of the former

            president.

 

            Political risk

 

            Tensions between extremist Islamic groups and secularists have increased as the former seek to

            impose sharia (Islamic law). The risk of an escalation of protests is high if economic conditions do

            not improve.

 

            Economic structure risk

 

            Tunisia's dependence on the EU for trade, remittances and tourism is a great concern given the

            expected economic contraction in the euro zone in 2012.
