Somewhat. As former colonies, many Tunisians and Moroccans speak French (most educated ones do, at least), therefore it's a preferred outsourcing destination for French companies, particularly for services (call centres and the likes). To some extent, other former colonies like Senegal and Madagascar profit from this too, but they're much farther away from France than Tunisia and Morocco (which are 2 hours away by plane and 24 hours away by boat) and have much less infrastructure to support industrial development (such as roads, ports and a decent electrical grid).
