Signs of Tunisia recovery; Europe weighs: IMF | Reuters

Tunisia's economy is showing signs of revival after popular protests last year pushed it into recession but the crisis in the euro zone, its most important export market, presents risks, a senior IMF official said on Friday.

The International Monetary Fund has just completed its first review of Tunisia's economy since the "Arab Spring" popular revolution in January 2011 toppled veteran leader Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali after almost 23 years in power.

In an interview, the IMF's mission chief to Tunisia, Joel Toujas-Bernate, said the European debt crisis "is a big cloud" for Tunisia.
