Agreement-. Its geographic proximity to Europe is also an advantage for Tunisia. The relationship is a close one economically, culturally and socially…
Tunisia is the first country on the southern Mediterranean shore to have signed an associative free trade treaty with the European Union in 1995. With implementation dating from 1996, this agreement governs the phasing in of a free-trade zone giving access to the EU market
The economy grew by 4.5% in constant prices in 2008, five times the population growth rate (1.08%).
Per capita GNP has doubled in just one decade. At 4,653 Tunisian dinars in 2008, this corresponds to parity purchasing power of 7.000 US dollars.
Tunisian exports to the European Union market have undergone a remarkable evolution. Their part in the export total increased from 51% in 1976 to 80% in 2008. Nearly 80% of exports to the European Union are industrial products. Through the dynamic quality of its ready-to-wear clothing sector, Tunisia is the fourth exporter of clothing to the EU.
A major Euro-Mediterranean zone. This free trade treaty starts a new series of treaties between the EU and the south Mediterranean countries which plan to establish by the year 2010 a vast Europe-Mediterranean free-trade zone of more than 800 million inhabitants.
Markets of the Arab countries. Tunisia has signed a number of preferential agreements with Maghreb and Arab countries. Application of the
regional agreement signed in 1998 to introduce an Arab free-trade zone has made good progress and the final phase will be completed in 2005. Trade with
Egypt, Morocco, Jordan and Libya is governed by bilateral agreements that set up a free-trade zone. Other free-trade agreements are being negotiated with other countries in the region.
