The Covid-19 outbreak aggravates Tunisia’s already elevated macroeconomicimbalances. The crisis is expected to reduce growth to an unprecedented -4.3 percent. Itwill also give rise to urgent fiscal and BOP financing needs of 2.6 and 4.7 percent ofGDP in 2020, respectively, with large downside risks due to exceptional uncertainty. Ifnot addressed, these gaps cause immediate and severe economic disruption.
