Jordan's King Abdullah II called on the Jordanian government to "take economic measures that are felt by the citizen and the private sector, as part of efforts to contain the negative consequences that affected the economic and living conditions in the country."
The Jordanian monarch called on the government to provide him with a monthly report on the progress of work on improving the economic conditions in the Kingdom, stressing the need for everyone to assume their responsibilities, so that there is an actual implementation of priorities on the ground to confront the challenge of unemployment and re-stimulate growth.
H.H. King Abdullah II emphasized "the importance of dialogue and partnership between the government and the private sector, working as a team, facilitating procedures and reducing costs for investors."
For his part, Prime Minister Bisher Al Khasawneh presented the details of the government's economic program for the years 2021-2023. The program is based on 3 main axes, including improving the investment and business environment, enhancing competition and stimulating the private sector, and supporting priority economic sectors.
Poverty and unemployment rates in the country have exacerbated during the Coronavirus pandemic, due to the weak ability of the market to find new jobs, job losses and the closure and bankruptcy of small and medium-sized entrepreneurial enterprises.
