TUNIS, June 16 (Reuters) - Tunisia's dinar currency has fallen to record lows versus the euro and the U.S. dollar following the release of weak export and tourism revenue figures, according to central bank data and analysts on Thursday.
The dinar traded at 2.47 against the euro and 2.13 against the dollar on Wednesday and on Thursday was at 2.43 versus the euro and 2.16 against the dollar, according to central bank figures.
The government is expected to announce new measures on Monday aimed at stabilizing the currency. The North African state's tourism industry has been weakened by two major Islamist militant attacks on foreign visitors last year.
