EconomyHow prices in Tunisia have skyrocketed since the Arab Spring

Al Jazeera compares the prices of everyday food in Tunisia with their levels before the 2010 revolution. The dinar has lost half its dollar value, raising import costs, while unsubsidised food prices surged: tomatoes rose 113 percent, chicken 118 percent, cooking oil 129 percent and carrots 428 percent. Subsidised staples have remained fixed, creating a two-tier food basket.
