The relevance of the Bank's intervention was justified by the need to continue supporting the priority financial sector reforms undertaken by the government within the framework of its objective of structurally transforming the economy. Indeed, PAMSFI-II aimed at supporting the emergence of a new development model for Tunisia, in which the private sector could develop and create employment throughout Tunisia, and where disadvantaged segments of the population could contribute to and benefit from growth. In addition, Tunisia is engaged in ambitious programmes aimed at supporting SMEs and attracting private investment in the energy sector through the 1000 MW Tunisian solar programme. PAMSFIII would support the ambitious objectives of this programme by helping to improve the financing of the economy.
