Published on: Monday 05 February 2018
Tunisia's foreign currency reserves have dropped to levels worth just 84 days of imports, their lowest in 15 years, central bank figures showed on Tuesday. Reserves fell to 11.887 billion dinars ($4.98 billion) by Feb 5, enough to cover 84 days of imports, compared with 101 days in the same period a year earlier, Tunisia's central bank said on its website. A worsening trade deficit and declining tourism revenues have eroded the reserves.
