AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

World Bank Update: Jordan has been reclassified as an upper-middle-income economy for FY2027 after a national accounts rebasing lifted GNI per capita to $5,260, up from $4,430—effective July 1, 2026. Electricity Sector: The World Bank also restructured its Electricity Sector Efficiency and Supply Reliability Program, extending a key reform deadline to Dec. 31, 2026 amid delays tied to regional geopolitical tensions. Integrity Commission Clarification: JIACC chairman Hazem Al-Majali says the Commission refers cases only to the Public Prosecutor—not to the government—and warns against spreading inaccurate claims. Economy & Markets: Economists point to diversification and policy discipline behind Jordan’s resilience, while the Amman Stock Exchange logged a weekly dip in trading volume and its benchmark index. Local Governance: Greater Amman Municipality says reserving public parking spaces outside shops is a violation and will not be permitted. Humanitarian Aid: Jordan and Qatar sent a second aid flight to earthquake-hit Venezuela, carrying 26 tonnes of medical, relief and food supplies. Sports (Amman): FIBA Asian Qualifiers Game Day 5 in Amman features Jordan in Group C action as lineups for Groups C and D were locked ahead of July 5 matches. Culture: Jerash Festival’s new Hippodrome stage debuts this year, adding an open-air venue for international and Arab performances.
