SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 22 – When the International Monetary Fund held a question and answer briefing on March 23, 2023, Inner City Press asked (in advance, and in the briefing) on Tunisia, please describe the status of the $1.9 billion staff agreed program, which Italy for one says it is urging the Fund to "unblock," and the issues in that regard.
It added the more recent comments of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and the EU's Joseph Borelli. IMF Spokesperson Julie Kozack replied that the IMF Board meeting was postponed, and that other states can do more to help.
Inner City Press followed up with a direct question about anti-migrant statements by Tunisia's president. Ms. Kozack said the IMF is concerned and following developments, then referred again to inclusiveness. Transcript and video forthcoming - watch this site.
