TUNIS, Tunisia – With Prime Minster Ali Larayedh's new government headed for narrow parliamentary approval on Tuesday [March 12], Tunisia is set to make a tired and lumbering exit from its month long political crisis, marked by bickering and lack of unity on all political sides.
The return to stability which should follow will be a welcome relief both to citizens and to investors, who saw Tunisia's sovereign credit rating downgraded by Standard and Poor's as a direct result of the events. But just how long that stability will last will depend on how much the government can improve on its previous record.
