The Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia issued Circular No. 2018-11 to revise the credit scales and deadlines for cereal crop financing under Circular No. 87-47. The updated framework establishes maximum credit ceilings in Tunisian dinars per hectare, differentiated by crop type (wheat, barley, forage), irrigation status, and farm zone. Banks must adjust disbursed credit amounts based on farm size, projected expenses, and recent yield performance, with repayment deadlines set primarily for August 31 and September 30.
