A joint High-level mission of the European Commission and key European and international financial institutions as well as the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID) was in Amman yesterday to confirm coordinated international support for the Government of Jordan’s economic reform agenda. Together, the EU, DFID and the financial institutions participating in the mission are currently providing over €7 billion of international support to Jordan.
The group met with Jordan Prime Minister Omar Razzaz accompanied by Ministers of the Jordanian Government as well as with representatives of Jordan’s private sector and civil society that have an important role to play in promoting and implementing the reform agenda.
Following the recent third Brussels Conference and the London initiative, the High-level Mission confirmed the support of the international community to the Government in implementing key reforms for the period 2019-2023 in the country. This includes reforms to promote growth and job creation, to improve the business climate and reduce business costs, to promote foreign investments and develop Jordanian exports, to deepen access to finance, create more and better jobs, and improve social protection for the poor and most vulnerable.
