The Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD) granted Tunisia on Saturday a 36-million-dollar soft loan to help finance a credit development project in the North African state, reported the Gulf Daily News. 

The Kuwait-based AFESD said in a statement the 22-year loan, including a five-year grace period, carries a 4.5 percent annual interest rate.  

The loan will partly finance a project to develop and improve the country’s economic sector, said the paper.
