I am convinced there are major opportunities for the UK and Tunisia to build stronger links in the financial sector. Senior government leaders on both sides are enthusiastic. Now it is time to turn that political will into practical steps forward.
This week we have been pleased to have Philippe Gautier, a top level specialist in banking and finance, visit Tunis. He is meeting all the relevant decision-makers here to pin down how and where we should focus. Tunisia has plans to develop a role as a regional financial centre. It is putting the legal framework and physical infrastructure in place. I hope that as Tunisia builds its capacity in this sector it does so with UK experts as its partners.
