Khaberni - The IMF team and Jordan have reached an agreement at the expert level during the fourth review under the "Extended Fund Facility" (EFF), and the first review under the "Resilience and Sustainability Facility" (RSF).
According to a statement from the IMF on Tuesday evening, "the implementation of the 'Extended Fund Facility' is progressing steadily on the right track, as Jordan, with support from international partners, continues to apply sound fiscal and macroeconomic policies and carry out structural reforms aimed at enhancing the resilience of the Jordanian economy, supporting private sector-led growth and creating job opportunities."
The IMF noted that economic growth in Jordan accelerated to 2.7% in the first half of 2025, while inflation rates stabilized at around 2%, with the Central Bank of Jordan successfully maintaining monetary stability and pegging the dinar to the US dollar.
Under the "Resilience and Sustainability Facility," the authorities are moving forward in implementing the reform measures (RMs) associated with the first review. This facility, which was approved in June 2025, aims to address long-standing vulnerabilities in the water and electricity sectors in Jordan, and enhance its capacity to handle health emergencies, which would support the economic prospects of the kingdom and enhance the stability of the balance of payments, according to the IMF.
Completing the fourth review under the Extended Fund Facility will provide an amount of 97.784 million Special Drawing Rights (approximately $130 million US).
Meanwhile, completing the first review under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility will provide an amount of 79.182 million Special Drawing Rights (approximately $114 million US) out of the 514.650 SDR (approximately $744 million) previously approved.
