AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

World Bank Update: Jordan has been reclassified as an upper-middle-income economy for FY2027, effective 1 July 2026, after a rebasing of national accounts lifted GNI per capita to $5,260. Public Finance & Jobs: Economists say growth resilience is driven by diversification and reforms, but the next phase must shift toward higher, job-creating growth through productivity and investment. Electricity Sector: The World Bank restructured its electricity efficiency and supply reliability program, extending a key reform deadline to 31 Dec 2026 amid delays from regional tensions; energy experts also stress that new 700MW plants must be paired with renewables and grid upgrades. Tax Administration: Income and Sales Tax Department chief Hossam Abu Ali backed training for staff as Jordan updates reporting standards under IFRS 18. Amman Traffic Rules: Greater Amman Municipality says blocking public parking with barriers is a violation and will not be permitted. ASE Watch: Amman Stock Exchange saw lower weekly trading volume and a 1.52% dip in the benchmark index. Humanitarian Relief: Jordan and Qatar sent a second aid flight to earthquake-hit Venezuela with 26 tonnes of medical, relief and food supplies. Local Security: A missing Zarqa boy was found safe in central Amman. Tourism & Culture: Ajloun is promoting “night views” as a summer draw, while Jerash Festival is leaning into digital storytelling.
