International praise for the performance of the Jordanian economy and its overall stability
The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) formally approved the completion of the fifth and second reviews of the aforementioned programs on June 17, 2026. In its reports, the IMF confirmed that the Jordanian economy continued to maintain its macroeconomic stability despite the surrounding regional challenges. This was attributed to the continued commitment to implementing comprehensive economic and fiscal reforms. The Fund noted that the program’s performance remained very strong. The government successfully met all quantitative targets and completed the structural reform criteria with high efficiency.
He noted that the new financing will provide crucial support for efforts to maintain economic and financial stability. This support will contribute to placing public debt on a sustainable downward trajectory, while also bolstering private sector-led economic growth and creating more job opportunities for young people. Furthermore, the financing will support reforms aimed at strengthening the Kingdom’s resilience to the negative repercussions and increasing impacts of climate change. Consequently, it will enhance the Jordanian economy’s ability to absorb future external shocks in a volatile regional environment.
