Abstract

The Tunisian economy has been affected by political and social post-revolution instability which has led to a decline in investment and perturbation of prices. To fight against inflation, the Central Bank of Tunisia has adopted the policy of inflation targeting in twinning with the Bank of France. It contributed to the conduct of monetary policy during the critical phase of transition after the Tunisian Revolution in 2011. The objective of this paper is to determine the role of the Central Bank of Tunisia to absorb monetary disturbances after the Tunisian Revolution. In this paper, we examine the evolution of monetary policy of the Central Bank of Tunisia and present the twinning between the Central Bank of Tunisia with the Bank of France and its effects on the volatility of inflation.
