Tunisia: UGTT rejects the IMF reforms

The proposed reforms include reducing the mass of public sector salaries, reviewing the policy of subsidizing some basic materials, and restructuring public companies that are experiencing financial difficulties.

 

The Secretary-General of the UGTT stated that the organization rejects the conditions of the IMF in light of weak salaries and high rates of poverty and unemployment.

 

Tunisia had held preliminary discussions with the IMF to obtain a new loan to save its economy from a stifling crisis.
