IMF Agrees with Jordan to Release 200 Million Dollars

SadaNews - The International Monetary Fund revealed on Thursday that it has reached a technical agreement with the Jordanian government regarding two reviews to support economic reforms, allowing the kingdom to receive approximately 200 million dollars.

A team of IMF experts, led by Cesar Sierra, conducted in-person and virtual discussions with Jordanian authorities from April 2 to 14 to carry out the fifth review of the extended fund facility-supported economic reform program, approved by the IMF's Executive Board on January 10, 2024.

The mission also conducted the second review of reform measures under the resilience and sustainability facility arrangement, which was approved on June 25, 2025.

Completing the review of the extended fund facility would make available around 140 million dollars from a total program of approximately 1.2 billion dollars, while completing the review of the resilience and sustainability facility would free up about 57 million dollars from a total of around 744 million dollars, according to the statement.

Sierra confirmed that the Jordanian economy continues to show its resilience, supported by the Jordanian government's commitment to prudent macroeconomic policies.

Real GDP growth reached 2.8 percent in 2025, and growth momentum strengthened at the beginning of 2026.

Sierra pointed out the Jordanian government's commitment to reducing public debt to 80 percent of GDP by 2028, through enhancing revenues and spending efficiency.
