Tunisia is facing disruption in fuel deliveries. Long queues can be seen at petrol stations. Authorities insist that fuel deliveries are adequate and have blamed motorists in the capital for sparking shortages by flocking to fill up.
Tunisia has faced shortages of subsidised goods such as flour and cooking oil. These are imported by the state and distributed at lower-than-market prices. Experts have blamed the situation on the country’s poor public finances. A low credit rating denies the country credit forcing it to pay in cash. The government insists that fuel deliveries are proceeding as normal.

Other areas of Tunisia have remained largely normal. The north African country is in talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout loan of around US$2 billion. The state’s financial bottom lines remain a concern for the government led by President Kais Saied, who in July last year seized far-reaching powers.
