Today, the United States and Tunisia signed a loan guarantee
agreement which will allow Tunisia to access up to $500 million in
affordable financing from international capital markets. The loan
guarantee underscores the United States’ commitment to the people of
Tunisia and their democratic transition. The loan guarantee agreement is
designed to support Tunisia as it pursues important reforms that will
provide the foundation for economic growth and prosperity.
The signing of this agreement reaffirms President Obama’s commitment
to Tunisia’s economic development made during his meeting with Prime
Minister Joma’a in the Oval Office on April 4, 2014. At that meeting,
President Obama said, “We want nothing more than for Tunisians to
determine their own destiny, for the economic reforms to take place to
allow Tunisia to be not just self-sufficient but thriving in the world
economy. And we are confident that with the Prime Minister’s guidance
that, in fact, Tunisia can meet some of its reform goals and lay the
foundation for great success in the future.”
Prime Minister Joma’a added, “We are very proud of our new
constitution, of our shared values in democracy and rights. As we set
this road map, we need to think about economic and social aspects, and
also about teaching and learning, because we are eager to develop our
youth and to develop new technologies.”
The signing of today’s agreement is evidence of the U.S. commitment
to help Tunisia build an economic foundation that supports sustainable
and inclusive economic and job growth, bolster international confidence
in the Tunisian market, and support and expand U.S.-Tunisian economic
relations.
This is the second U.S. loan guarantee the United States has provided
to Tunisia. The earlier guarantee for $485 million in 2012 was
successful in facilitating Tunisian access of global capital markets for
the first time since 2007. These loan guarantees are one component of
broader ongoing U.S. support for Tunisia. Since 2011, the United States
has committed an additional $400 million in assistance to support
Tunisia’s transition.
