 | | Government exchange controls for Tunisians traveling abroad were recently loosened to allow them to take up to $855 (1,000 dinars) per year out of the country, doubling the previous limit of 500 dinars per year. |
 | | The value of the dinar is tied to a basket of foreign currencies, primarily those of Tunisia's major trading partners, such as Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the United States. |
 | | Foreign investors are denied treatment on par with Tunisians in the agricultural sector, and although land may be secured for long-term leases (40 years), foreign ownership of agricultural land is prohibited. |
