A delegation from the Global Forum Secretariat visited Tunisia at the end of October to support Tunisia in strengthening its confidentiality and data protection framework for the implementation of the automatic exchange of information.
Tunisia is committed to implementing the standard of automatic exchange of financial account information for tax purposes (AEOI) by 2024. This standard requires Tunisia to take appropriate confidentiality and data protection measures. This must be reflected in a legal framework that ensures the confidentiality and appropriate use of the information exchanged, as well as an information security management framework that adheres to internationally recognised standards or best practices.
