The World Bank announced on Tuesday a new financing package worth $1.1 billion USD to support Jordan in implementing its Economic Modernization Vision and strengthening the country’s resilience against economic shocks and regional challenges.

According to the official Jordan News Agency Petra, the funding includes four key projects focused on enhancing citizens’ quality of life, supporting economic reforms, generating employment opportunities, and promoting the growth of startups and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It also includes measures to expand social protection and accelerate progress in sustainable energy.

The World Bank emphasized that this support forms part of its ongoing strategic partnership with Jordan, aiming to empower the national economy to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth in the face of global and regional shifts.

This initiative reaffirms the international community’s commitment to supporting Jordan’s development trajectory—particularly in light of pressures from refugee inflows and global economic uncertainties—while boosting the kingdom’s long-term economic and social resilience.
