Tunisia gives Shuaa Capital all clear on brokerage accounts



Shuaa Capital, the country's largest investment bank, said the Tunisian Financial Market Council has lifted the freeze on its brokerage accounts.

The regulator ordered 123 brokerage firms to suspend securities trading, including Shuaa Capital, until it could confirm that there were no connections with individuals who are currently under investigation by the authorities in Tunisia, Shuaa said in an e-mailed statement today.

"Based on documents provided by SHUAA Capital, the Tunisian Financial Market Council stated that all securities held by Shuaa Capital in Tunisia are fully owned by the firm and not by any individuals who are currently under investigation by the authorities in Tunisia," it said.

Dirham Stretcher tips for having a baby in the UAE

Selma Abdelhamid, the group's moderator, offers her guide to guide the cost of having a young family:

• Buy second hand stuff

 They grow so fast. Don't get a second hand car seat though, unless you 100 per cent know it's not expired and hasn't been in an accident.

• Get a health card and vaccinate your child for free at government health centres

 Ms Ma says she discovered this after spending thousands on vaccinations at private clinics.

• Join mum and baby coffee mornings provided by clinics, babysitting companies or nurseries.

Before joining baby classes ask for a free trial session. This way you will know if it's for you or not. You'll be surprised how great some classes are and how bad others are.

• Once baby is ready for solids, cook at home

Take the food with you in reusable pouches or jars. You'll save a fortune and you'll know exactly what you're feeding your child.

Business Insights
  • Canada and Mexico are significant energy suppliers to the US, providing the majority of oil and natural gas imports
  • The introduction of tariffs could hinder the US's clean energy initiatives by raising input costs for materials like nickel
  • US domestic suppliers might benefit from higher prices, but overall oil consumption is expected to decrease due to elevated costs
