I. Commercial Overview

Tunisia offers significant potential for American business.
Thanks to ongoing privatization and market liberalization
programs, the economy has grown at an average rate of 5.6 percent
over the past 4 years.  The private sector is increasingly
dynamic.  Tunisia welcomes U.S. trade and investment, and U.S.
companies have demonstrated their ability to compete successfully
with entrenched European competitors to win Tunisian government
contracts.
