Tunisia: new central bank governor vows economic boost


(MENAFN) Tunisian new central bank chief Marouane El Abassi has pledged to pick up the country's currency and boost economy through implementing "extraordinary measures".

Ahead of his nomination vote, the former World Bank official and economics professor assured "I do not believe that there is a crisis that cannot be solved."

He added "but the current period is an extraordinary period that needs to be dealt with through extraordinary measures. We must finish with traditional solutions."

Abassi's promise appears amid a financial crisis that overwhelmed Tunisia, with deficits and inflation on the rise and the country's dinar collapse.
