突尼斯1956年独立后,在哈比卜·布尔吉巴总统领导下,国民经济取得较高速的持续发展。在七十年代,突尼斯国民生产总值年均增长率达8%。从1956年到1978年的二十二年间,其国民生产总值增长了6.3倍。1983年人均国民生产总值达1290美元。这个人口仅几百万、资源不甚丰富的小国的经济管理与发展,一直在非洲名列前茅,并为世界银行和国际货币基金组织所称道。 After Tunisia’s independence in 1956, under the leadership of President Habib Bourguiba, the national economy achieved a relatively rapid and sustained development. In the seventies, Tunisia’s GNP grew at an average annual rate of 8%. In the 22 years from 1956 to 1978, its GNP increased by 6.3 times. In 1983, the per capita GNP reached 1,290 U.S. dollars. The economic management and development of a small country with a population of only a few million and less well-resourced has been among the best in Africa and is commended by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
