Helped by high revenues from petroleum exports and substantial improvements in its terms of trade, the country sustained a massive increase in investments and a simultaneous growth in public and private consumption with little recourse to foreign borrowing. It has, however, not been able to reduce the large structural unemployment and underemployment, fueled by rapid population growth and a general policy bias in favor of capital intensive investments. The economic outlook for the period of the VI Plan (1982-86) and beyond raises several issues. Hydrocarbon exports are expected to decline gradually and the terms of trade are likely to get worse. This raises two main issues for the new Plan: How to adapt the economy to the lower resource availability (domestic and foreign) of the post--hydrocarbon era and how to achieve a maximum of new employment within the :increasing financial and balance-of-payments constraints. In response, t:he Plan proposes to step up directly productive, labor intensive investments (particularly in the private sector) and to finance them through cutting investments in infrastructure and capital intensive industries and through slowing down the growth of private consumption. The necessary cuts in investments can be achieved relatively easily, as most of these are under direct Government control. To slow down the growth-of private consumption and to increase directly productive, labor intensive investments, however, are the two main challenges for the Tunisian policy makers during the 1980s. Income policies are the most important: policy instruments in both respects. They are a key determinant of private consumption; of current budget outlays and public savings; of enterprises' profits and savings; and of the size and composition of private investments. In consequence, both the Plan's savings and investment targets depend vitally on cautious wage and salary policies. They also depend on realistic exchange rate, price, and interest policies. Finally, many sector specific policy changes are important as outlined in the second volume of this report. Within the framework of the macroeconomic projections, the Plan's detailed investment program is generally appropriate. While it would seem to underestimate somewhat the level of spontaneous private investments in housing and hydrocarbon, and to overestimate absorptive capacity in agriculture and tourism, this rieport is in general agreement with the priorities of the program.
