Tunisia expects economic growth of 3.5% next year, against 2.9% expected in 2018, driven by the recovery of the tourism sector and the development of agriculture, according to Minister in charge of Reforms, Taoufik Rajhi.
He added in a statement to Reuters on Wednesday that the government plans to reduce the budget deficit to 3.9 percent in 2019 from the 4.9% forecast for 2018.
