In 2022, due to the high oil price in the international market, the Tunisian government provided high subsidies for imported refined oil in order to maintain domestic stability, which caused a huge financial burden for the country. Last year, the prices of refined oil products in Tunisia increased by about 20 percent. However, the current prices of refined oil products are still significantly lower than that in the international market. Xinhua News Agency correspondents reporting from Tunis. (XHTV)
