Khaberni - Economic expert Munir Diah said that the volume of loans needed by the Jordanian government during the next year 2026, to cover the budget deficit and repay various obligations, will reach 9.811 billion dinars.
Diah noted that about 50% of the loans will be domestic, approximately 5.5 billion dinars, while other financing sources include US dollar bond issues worth 1.46 billion dinars, Khaberni loans, and bonds in foreign currencies valued at 709 million dinars, and loans from international institutions to support the budget amounting to 2 billion dinars, in addition to loans to finance capital projects valued at 43 million dinars.
The share of public debt per Jordanian from birth is approximately 5500 dinars Khaberni.
He pointed out that the continuous reliance on borrowing to cover current expenditures and service the debt increases the cost of public debt and financial burdens on the treasury, making the citizen bear the majority through direct and indirect taxes, which account for about 70% of total revenues.
