Through steady structural reforms and
good macroeconomic management, Tunisia has been successful
in sustaining growth. The country enjoyed a 4.8 percentage
average annual growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) over
most of the 2000`s, placing the country among the leading
performers in the region. Most of the growth was driven by
private enterprises in the export sectors. Tunisia did
better than most countries in the region because it started
structural reforms earlier and stayed the course in a
gradual fashion. But many emerging countries, such as
Malaysia and Turkey, which share similar growth models,
outperformed Tunisia.
