Since the 2011 revolutions that overthrew the autocracy and brought a democratic government, many economic indicators in the country have weakened and state borrowing has increased.
According to World Bank figures, economic growth, which was an average of 4.7% between 2000 and 2010, has been 1.8% on average since then.
The uprising also affected tourism. New public affairs, high salaries and increased subsidies put the economy under pressure. Since 2011, government debt has risen from 41% to 70% of gross domestic product.
Structural reforms to reduce bureaucracy, improve the performance of government agencies and services, and reduce corruption are expected to strengthen the business environment and generate revenue.
