After a long wait, Tunisia is now refusing loans from the IMF (International Monetary Fund) with a view to joining BRICS. Tunisia wishes to leave certain international institutions and turn to BRICS because of problems encountered with Western countries. This news comes as a great shock to the IMF, as it was not expected.<\/p>\n

Mahmoud Ben Mabrouk, spokesman for Tunisia’s political bureau, declared that his country would like to join the BRICS. This is a group of leading emerging economies including Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa, often seen as an alternative to Western hegemony. In November, neighboring Algeria officially applied to join the BRICS. Ben Mabrouk reacted by declaring that Tunisia would follow in the footsteps of its North African neighbor.<\/p>\n

However, a researcher by the name of Sharan Grewal would cast doubt on all these releases. She says it’s unclear how official the offer is. This does not come from President Kais Saeid or any government official; rather, it comes from one of the many political movements that have emerged in favor of the President since 2021”.<\/p>\n
