Tunis chooses Aida Hamdi to steer bailout with IMF and World Bank

摘要

A graduate of ENA specialising in administrative reform and finance, junior aid minister Aida Hamdi will be responsible for dealing with the country's international financial backers. A member of Najla Bouden's government, which was formed on October 11, Aida Hamdi is set to have the challenging task of restoring relations between Tunisia and its backers, in particular the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The new secretary of state in charge of international cooperation, who reports to foreign minister Othman Jerandi, oversees a portfolio that links the senior civil service, education and international financial institutions. As such, this should enable her to act as a broker between international organisations and the government.
