Abstract

We study the relationships between the real effective exchange rate (REER) of the Tunisian dinar and its determinants/fundamentals, i.e. the ratio of trade balance/GDP, the ratio of public consumption/GDP, the openness rate and the terms of trade. We find that in the most of cases, the variables are stationary around a nonlinear trend. So we highlight the presence of co-trending relationships between REER and the four fundamental. That confirms the presence of a common nonlinear trend.
