TUNIS, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Tunisia has secured $1.2 billion loans from the World Bank to support its democratic transition in 2014, the Bank said on Friday.
It is the biggest loans package Tunisia has received since the revolution that toppled president Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali. The International Monetary Fund approved a $507 million loan tranche on Jan. 29.
