Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki sacked on Wednesday the country’s central bank governor, Mustapha Nabli, according to a communique issued by the Tunisian presidency.
The communique said that the decision will be submitted to the 217-member Constituent Assembly for approval.
In a recent interview to a private television station, Marzouki said that the country needs a “different economic and banking policy decided by Tunisians, not any party.”
The move, came days after a political crisis triggered by the extradition of former Libyan Prime Minister Baghdadi Mahmoudi, is likely to fuel another crisis within the country’s constitutional assembly that was split over the issue, Xinhua reported.
