TUNIS (Reuters) – Tunisia hopes to reach an agreement with the International Monetary Fund before the end of next month, after it agreed a wage deal, the government spokesperson said on Friday.
The government and the powerful UGTT union on Thursday signed a deal to boost public sector wages by 5%, a step that may ease social tensions. But they did not announce any further agreement on reforms needed for an IMF bailout.
