POLITICAL and economic systems

• Market-oriented economy it faces an array of
  challenges during the country's ongoing political
  transition. Key exports now include textiles and
  apparel, food products, petroleum products,
  chemicals, and phosphates, with about 80 of
  exports bound for Tunisia's main economic
  partner, the European Union During 2012 and 2013,
  the Tunisian Governments focus on the political
  transition led to a neglect of the economy that
  resulted in several downgrades of Tunisias
  credit rating.
• As the economy recovers, Tunisia's government
  faces challenges reassuring businesses and
  investors, bringing budget and current account
  deficits under control, shoring up the country's
  financial system, bringing down high
  unemployment, and reducing economic disparities
  between the more developed coastal region and the
  impoverished interior.

Major issue

• Problems facing Tunisia endanger the health of
  its human population directly.  Ineffective
  disposal of toxic and hazardous materials and
  water pollution from raw sewage (a problem common
  in Northern Africa) are posing risks to the
  well-being of Tunisia's citizenry.
