George Hayduke Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Country Report No. 17/366 : Jordan : Technical Assistance Report-Public Investment Management Assessment (PIMA) Author/Editor: International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept. Summary: Jordan’s public finances have deteriorated since the mid-2000s, resulting in a significant reduction in public investment. In response to several negative external shocks, notably the Iraq and Syria crises and the 2008 global financial crisis, the government has reduced public investment and stepped up the use of public-private partnerships (PPPs). Capital expenditure as a share of total expenditure for the general government decreased from around 7 percent of GDP in the early 2000s to around 4 percent of GDP in the years following the 2008 global financial crisis. Consequently, Jordan’s public capital stock stood at 77 percent of GDP in 2015, compared to 140 percent of GDP in 1990, and the capital stock per capita in 2015 was lower than those of peer countries with similar income levels.

coorslite21 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 This is part of the reason I believe there will be a Israel, Palestine, Jordan peace agreement in the future.........Jordan gets cash, Palestine gets some western territories in Jordan that are already 100% populated with Palestinians.....thus a country to call their own........Israel gets the borders and their country back, and they foot the bill with the US and some others...... Perhaps a win,win,win.......JMO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotcurl Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 The financial situation in Jordan can't be that bad, with an exchange rate of 1 Jordanian dinar = $1.4079 USD. Maybe the neighboring Iraqi's will follow suit and RV at a similar rate ? ...............Just sayin' ...........................
