The impacts of the external debt on economic growth in Tunisia

The dynamics of the external debt is still a phenomenon little discussed in the literature for the Tunisian context and the previous work on this theme does not give to the Researchers of the techniques sufficient to deal with it. The objective of this research is to explain the effects of the external public debt on economic growth for Tunisia on the period 2000-2015. To analyze this impact, we issued a hypothesis that the public debt outside negatively affects economic growth. As a result of this finding, the question to which we will try to provide a response to the end of this research is: What is the impact of level of indebtedness on economic growth in Tunisia. It is clear from the results of this research that the rate of total investment affects positively and significantly the economic growth for the horizon of the long-term. In contrast, the rate of inflation, the service of the debt and the rate of population growth act negatively and significantly on economic growth in the short term.
