Tunisian president calls for changes to central bank law

Tunisian President Kais Saied on Saturday called for the law governing the central bank to be amended. In a video published by the presidency, Saied said that “we want a national central bank, not as others wanted it based on dictates from abroad." According to reporting by Reuters Saied said in a meeting with central bank Governor Zouhair Nouri that "it is time to change the 2016 law" that granted the bank power over monetary policy, reserves and gold.”
