The IMF announces an agreement with Jordan that allows the Kingdom to obtain about $200 million

The International Monetary Fund announced on Wednesday that it had reached an agreement with the Jordanian government at the expert level regarding two reviews to support economic reform, allowing the Kingdom to obtain about $200 million.

A team of Fund experts, headed by Cesar Serra, held in-person and virtual discussions with the Jordanian authorities during the period from April 2 to 14 to conduct the fifth review of the economic reform program supported by the Extended Fund Facility, which was approved by the Fund’s Executive Board on January 10, 2024.

The Mission also conducted the second review of reform measures under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility Arrangement approved on 25 June 2025.

Completing the review of the Extended Fund Facility will make about $140 million available out of the total approved program worth about $1.2 billion, while completing the review of the Resilience and Sustainability Facility will make about $57 million available out of a total of about $744 million, according to the statement.

Serra stressed that the Jordanian economy continued to demonstrate its ability to withstand, supported by the Jordanian government’s commitment to prudent policies at the macroeconomic level.

Real GDP growth reached 2.8% in 2025, and growth momentum strengthened in early 2026.

Serra pointed out the Jordanian government’s commitment to reducing public debt to 80% of GDP by 2028, by enhancing revenues and spending efficiency.
