Summary
Corruption is a destabilizing force in Tunisia, infecting all levels of its economy, security, and political system. Once tightly controlled under former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, corruption has now become endemic, with everyday citizens engaging in and benefitting from corrupt practices.

The autonomy of a key pillar of democracy had been gravely compromised by the dismissal of Mustafa Nabli, a man of integrity, who ran the Central Bank from the fall of Ben Ali in January 2011 to July 2012 when he was sacked by president Moncef Marzouki. The decision on 7 February 2018 by the European Parliament to include Tunisia in the list of countries most at risk from money laundering and terrorist financing was a warning to the country to tighten its regulatory regime, notably failures in the oversight over various financial transactions which can be exploited by ind
