Summary findings
- Despite a contraction of agricultural production, Tunisia’s GDP grew by 5 percent in 1998.
- Gross fixed capital formation was 27.5 percent of GDP and was the most dynamic component of aggregate demand, notably in Tunisia’s traditional and new export sectors.
- The external current account deficit widened only slightly to 3.4 percent of GDP owing to a commensurate increase in the saving rate.
- Growth of exports of goods and services slowed primarily owing to a decline in sales of crude oil and food products.
