President of the Republic Reiterates Commitment to Reforms in Public Markets

Once again, the President of the Republic has reaffirmed his commitment to ensuring that the reform of public markets achieves its assigned objectives. Among these objectives, the first is to offer a transparent image of the country to investors, in terms of the acceptance of proposals for national and international tenders, and the control of decisions that certain hidden parties want to go against the nation's higher interests.

Prioritizing Development Files in Tunisia

On July 25, all development files in Tunisia have been given absolute priority. President Kaïs Saïed believes that it is the right of Tunisians to be informed, on time, about the follow-up of presidential instructions related to the implementation of development projects, particularly those that have been blocked, with funding stopped for months or even years, but whose concretization is still absent due to causes that are generally not understood by the public opinion. This is the same public opinion that claims its right to know everything, unfortunately without finding an attentive ear in several ministries, whose leaders refuse to carry out their duties voluntarily, with the blessing of the apostles of sedition that Tunisians have suffered for a long decade.

A New Era for Public Markets

Fortunately, this era has been eradicated thanks to the saving process of July 25, initiated by the President, who has decided sovereignly and freely to ensure that public markets are no longer the exclusive domain of profiteers, scammers, and bloodsuckers.

Meeting with the Prime Minister and Minister of Equipment

On May 4, the President received the Prime Minister, Mrs. Sarra Zaâfrani Zenzri, accompanied by Slah Zouari, Minister of Equipment and Housing, and also in charge of the Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Energy, to report on what has been done so far in terms of managing public markets. The President reiterated his advice and recommendations to simplify control procedures, with the aim of facilitating the reception of offers responding to tenders regularly published by concerned ministries. The ultimate goal is to award public markets to the maximum extent possible to offers submitted by companies or interested investors.

Addressing Blocked Projects

The Head of State has also drawn attention to the large projects currently blocked, whose execution is progressing at a pace considered too slow, risking an increase in the credits allocated to them, driving away Tunisian and foreign investors, and damaging the image of Tunisia as a preferred destination for investment.
