Tunisia's $1 Billion Smuggling Problem

The Tunisian government is losing a major chunk of public revenues due to "informal trade" - or smuggling over the Libyan and Algerian borders. The World Bank estimates that this illegal transport of goods is worth more than $1 billion to Tunisia - after they analyzed official data and conducted surveys at border areas. It accounts for nearly half the country's trade with Libya, and a significant amount of Algerian trade.
