Biography

Hédi Nouira was appointed as the governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia in 1958.[1] Following the failure of a short-lived Socialist experiment in the 1960s, Nouira liberalised the economy during the 1970s. In 1970, the then Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia, Nouira was appointed Prime Minister. The most decisive factor in Nouira's appointment seemed to be his commitment to private initiative as well as his financier's background.

He retired from politics in 1980 after suffering a stroke. Nouira died on January 25, 1993 after suffering from an illness that local media did not want to disclose.[2]
