Macro-financial assistance to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
The European Union is proposing to provide financial assistance to Jordan to help stabilize its economy. Jordan faces significant economic challenges, including high unemployment and public debt, worsened by regional instability and refugee inflows.
This financial support is intended for the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. It aims to address the country's financing needs and support its economic stability, particularly in light of the impact of regional conflicts and a large refugee population.
The assistance, up to €500 million in loans, will be disbursed in three installments. These payments are conditional on Jordan implementing agreed-upon economic reforms, focusing on public governance, fiscal management, and anti-corruption measures.
The loan will be provided under the EU's External Action Guarantee, with a portion set aside to cover potential risks. Jordan must also uphold democratic mechanisms, the rule of law, and human rights as a precondition for receiving the funds.
