Trade and Export Development Minister Fadhila Rabhi said says Tunisia will implement a new subsidy system next year to reduce subsidies for basic materials gradually.
Rabhi said the spending on subsidies in Tunisia is expected to reach 4.2 billion Tunisian dinars in 2022, compared to 3.2 billion dinars in 2021 and 730 million dinars in 2010.
She said the new system will implement from 2023 to 2026 and the subsidy will be directed to people and families on low incomes.
Rabhi stressed that this reform aims to set up a fair support system and rationalise the consumption of subsidised materials.
