Tunis to join growing Arab bourse group

Tunisia is preparing to link its bourse to a network of Arab bourses already initiated by Egypt, Kuwait and Lebanon in October, 1996.

Tunisia hopes to join this union in the first half of 1998, during which Morocco and Bahrain will also join the agreement on linking financial bourses, in addition to other Arab states which expressed satisfaction over results yielded by this new Arab experience during the two past years.
