Cairo-Mubasher: Tunisia is preparing to issue euro-denominated bonds worth 1 billion euros ($1.1 billion) to cover its budget deficit, an official source told Reuters.
He added that his country will go to the international market in few weeks. "It should be between mid-March and May 2016, for between 750 million euros and 1 billion euros," the official said, asking not to be identified because he was not authorised to speak to the media.
The country seeks to narrow its budget deficit to 3.9% in 2016 compared with forecasts of 4.4% last year.
