At a recent economic forum, Jordanian Finance Minister Mohammad Abu Hammour highlighted four pillars aimed at increasing local and foreign investment in the country and stimulating economic growth. Abu Hammour called for boosting the role of the private sector through a public-private partnership initiative, as well as increased continuity between fiscal and monetary policy. Additionally, the official noted that to produce sustainable reform policies as outlined by the Jordan National Agenda, the government must implement social, economic and financial reforms in public agencies – a measure which seeks to increase Jordan’s competitive capacity.
