Société Tunisienne de l’Electricité et du Gaz (STEG) is in urgent need of financing to continue to operate, at a time when Tunisia has imposed restrictive measures for almost two months due to the pandemic. As of 15 May, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is formally reviewing the company’s financing request in order to save the state-owned entity that was launched in 1962 and has been plagued for many years by a structural deficit.
