“We are aware that they are not doing anything.”. He said the company has lost almost $1 billion a year since 2011 because of disruption caused by the protests. It has only had 4,500 production days out of a possible 14,000 at its five mines since 2011, according to company documents seen by Reuters. “This..could have prevented us from borrowing from the IMF,” said Feriani. Phospates accounted for about 10 percent of Tunisia’s exports before 2011, when olive oil replaced it as the top export. In 2018 phosphate had shrunk to about 4 percent.

Tunisia agreed a $2.6 billion loan with the IMF in 2016, So far four installments worth $1.4 billion have been paid but each one was delayed because reforms fell behind the agreed program, Public sector salaries and reform of public companies were among the sticking points with the IMF, Analysts expect a new confrontation with the lender after the government raised salaries at public companies, including CPG, state airline Tunisair, and state energy firm STEG in November, An IMF spokeswoman said it was “in a continuous dialogue with the authorities on the policies” in the next loan review but declined to say when it would take cushion cut lapis/white quartz cufflinks place..

“The IMF supports the Tunisian authorities’ economic program to reduce macroeconomic imbalances, including by strengthening external competitiveness, reducing inflation, and lowering debt, and to improve job-creating growth prospects through structural reforms,” she said. CPG’s phosphate production fell from a record 8.2 million tons in 2010 to about 3 million tons in 2018, official data showed. In contrast, nearby Morocco raised output to 30 million tons last year from 13 million in 2010. A stable social climate allowed it to develop the industry including the use of a phosphate pipeline.

Some staff in the company say CPG has also lost money through other inefficiencies. At CPG’s headquarters employees showed a Reuters team dusty, unused train carriages, purchased four years ago to ship phosphate to the coast. “They have not been used because of a (technical) problem at the railway track near the production sites,” said CPG production director Rafaa Ben Nassib. A CPG employee told Reuters that the company sometimes ordered replacement pieces for parts that were not broken.

Nassib said this was “wrong and unfair”, Feriani said there was no proof, “We are constantly receiving petitions about corruption suspicions, but there is no proof of that, Yet we are seeking to strengthen corporate governance,” said Feriani, Union officials cushion cut lapis/white quartz cufflinks and mining town residents say CPG also pays too much to transport phosphate to coastal plants where it is turned into fertilizer, It costs $3 a ton to ship phosphate by train but the track is often blocked so CPG then uses truckers who charge up to $10 a ton, CPG officials say..
