Tunisia’s Accelerating Economic Challenges
Tue, July 21st, 2020
Live Online
On June 27, Tunisia opened its land, sea, and air borders for the first time in three months. While the government’s aggressive response to the coronavirus successfully limited the number of cases in Tunisia, the shutdown caused economic stress, with forecasters now projecting a 7 percent drop in GDP this year.
Join us for a conversation with experts from Tunisia’s public and private sectors as they discuss the economic ramifications of the pandemic and the best paths to recovery.
