The Tunisian government has lowered its economic growth forecast for this year, expecting a growth of 0,5 percent of the gross domestic product in the future, instead of one percent.
Tunisia is in a difficult situation after two deadly terrorist attacks that hit the tourism sector in the cities of Tunis and Sousse, according to a statement from the Ministry of Finance, as reported by Reuters.
The reduction of the expected rate of economic growth for this year was also influenced, as it is added, by strikes and protests that disrupted the export of phosphates, the second most important economic sector of this country, in which growth of 2014 percent was achieved in 2,3.
