President Kais Saied stresses need for economic decisions to be made at a purely national level

Tunis: President Kais Saied stressed the need for economic decisions to be purely national, based on new visions that break with what prevailed in the past and 'to which, unfortunately, some are still working to return.' This came during a meeting with the Minister of the Economy and Planning, Feryel Ouerghi Sebai, at the Carthage Palace on Wednesday. The President of the Republic stressed that the rentier economy never creates wealth and cannot be a pillar of the economy and growth. Moreover, those who benefit from it are a few families and growth rates are calculated not on the basis of national wealth but on the wealth they have accumulated. "What is more, the self-appointed rating and ranking bodies used to place Tunisia in advanced ranks and give it marks of approval because these families were associated with foreign circles," he was quoted as saying in a presidency statement. The President added that if these figures were objective and scientific, the situation in a number of public enterprises wou ld not be as it is today. The President of the Republic also stressed the need to speed up the drawing up of fair development plans in which the social role of the State cannot be neglected. "There can be no real growth without social justice and no economic and social growth without the State assuming its social role in health, education, transport and other facilities," he stressed.
