IMF Voices Concern About Tunisia After Attacks on Migrants

The International Monetary Fund voiced concern about the situation in Tunisia, after an unprecedented wave of violence against Black migrants in the North African country that seeks a bailout from the fund.

The IMF “is concerned about recent developments in Tunisia and notes the steps taken by the authorities to address the situation,” a spokesperson said Wednesday in an emailed response to questions. It “remains engaged with Tunisia, notably to support efforts to enhance social equity and promote inclusive growth.”
