"The Arab Monetary Fund (AMF) will allocate three credits worth 180 million dollars (MD) to Tunisia, including two credits meant to support the balance of payments and a third one to boost programmes of economic reform and exchange policy," said Tuesday Jassem Manaï, AMF Director-General and Chairman of Board of Directors. The AMF and Tunisia's Central Bank will sign these three loan agreements Tuesday. The AMF official said, at the end of a meeting here with interim Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali that "the repayment of these credits will extend over 3 years and more, with a grace period ranging between one and a half and two years and an interest rate of no more than 1%".

The fund has also hosted in its training centre in Abu Dhabi, more than 360 Tunisian experts of the ministries of finance and investment and of the Central Bank.
