Economic Changes in Tunisia

During the 1960s, Tunisia tried a different economic plan. It was called a "Socialist experiment." This plan did not work out as expected.

After this, Hédi Nouira became Prime Minister in 1970. He helped to change Tunisia's economy. He made it more open to private businesses. This means he encouraged people and companies to start their own businesses. This was a big change for the country's economy.

Why Hédi Nouira Became Prime Minister

Hédi Nouira was chosen as Prime Minister for a few reasons. One main reason was his strong belief in "private initiative." This means he thought that private businesses, not just the government, should help the economy grow. His background as a "financier" (someone who works with money and investments) also made him a good choice.
