IMF Chief Sees ‘Very Good Progress’ on Tunisia Loan Program

Tunisian authorities have made “very good progress” on the steps needed to approach the International Monetary Fund’s board for approval of a loan program, according to the lender’s chief.

Speaking in an interview with Asharq, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said she expects “to see in the next weeks — not months — a conclusion of the remaining actions so we can go to the board and Tunisia can get the support from the IMF and from its partners that are affiliated with this program.”
