尽管近期经济出现复苏迹象,突尼斯仍面临主食和瓶装饮用水短缺的问题,这暴露了该国在供应、分销和进口链条上的脆弱性。

Tunisia is facing shortages of staple goods and bottled drinking water despite recent signs of economic recovery, revealing vulnerability in the nation’s supply, distribution and import chains.

当前基本生活物资的匮乏凸显了突尼斯经济的广泛脆弱性,其成因包括全球气候挑战、公共财政限制以及囤积居奇行为。

The current scarcity of basic goods showed broad economic fragility in Tunisia, driven by global climate challenges, public finance constraints and hoarding.

根据官方数据,得益于农业和旅游业的强劲复苏,突尼斯经济在今年上半年增长了2.4%。当前的危机让人回想起2023年夏季大范围的面包供应危机。

The Tunisian economy grew 2.4% in the first half of the year amid a strong recovery in its agriculture and tourism sectors, according to official figures. The current crisis evoked memories of the widespread bread supply crisis in the summer of 2023.

经济学家巴塞姆·恩奈费尔(Bassem Ennaifer)向阿纳多卢通讯社表示,在新冠疫情、俄乌冲突以及新出现的经济压力影响下,突尼斯公共财政在过去六年里连续遭受了三次重大冲击。

Economist Bassem Ennaifer told Anadolu that Tunisia’s public finances suffered three consecutive major shocks over the past six years amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine war and newly emerging economic pressures.

恩奈费尔指出,糖、大米和茶叶等受补贴商品持续出现的供应危机,与突尼斯贸易办公室的债务负担和预算资金限制有关;而近期瓶装饮用水的短缺,则是由于分销中断所致,因为批发商不再拥有足够的库存来缓冲高温引发的需求激增。

Ennaifer stated that the persistent supply crisis for subsidized commodities, such as sugar, rice and tea, is tied to the debt burden and budget funding constraints of the Tunisian Trade Office, while the recent shortage of bottled drinking water was caused by distribution disruptions as wholesalers no longer have large inventories to buffer against heat-driven spikes in demand.

经济学教授里达·什昆达利(Ridha Chkoundali)表示,这些短缺问题已超出季节性需求的范畴。他敦促决策者实施全面改革,因为结构性、财务性和监管性问题将使危机持续存在。

Ridha Chkoundali, an economics professor, stated that these shortages moved beyond seasonal demand, urging policymakers to implement comprehensive reforms as structural, financial and regulatory issues will keep the crisis alive.

他表示,公共财政的流动性限制推迟了受补贴产品的进口,而电力中断和当地设施的技术问题也阻碍了生产。

He said that liquidity constraints in public finances delayed the import of subsidized products, while power outages and technical issues at local facilities have hindered production.

他指出,2.4%的经济增长率未达到3.3%的目标,并警告称,由于油价上涨和中东局势不稳定,经济复苏在下半年可能会进一步停滞。

He noted that the 2.4% economic growth was short of the 3.3% target, warning that the recovery could further stall in the second half due to rising oil prices and instability in the Middle East.

尽管突尼斯橄榄油产量大幅增长,农业发展势头强劲,但由于绝大部分产品都流向了出口市场,国内食品供应从中获得的益处十分有限。

The domestic food supply saw only limited benefits from a boom in Tunisian olive oil production despite strong agricultural growth, as the vast majority of the output was directed toward export markets.

奇昆达利(Chkoundali)表示,水资源锐减和能源成本攀升最终可能会影响燃料供应,如果这些当前的困难得不到解决,可能会引发新一轮的短缺潮。

Chkoundali stated that plummeting water resources and mounting energy costs could eventually affect fuel supplies, potentially leading to new waves of shortages if these current difficulties are left unaddressed.

突尼斯当局将供应问题归咎于囤积居奇和市场操纵,赛义德政府指责投机分子蓄意囤积商品,以挑起一场具有政治色彩的危机。

Tunisian authorities attributed supply issues to hoarding and market manipulation, with the Saied administration accusing speculative actors of deliberately hoarding goods to provoke a politically charged crisis.
