AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Public Finance: Jordan’s domestic revenues rose 1.9% to JD5.625b by end-July 2026, up from JD5.518b a year earlier, driven by higher tax collections and improved collection efficiency. Kingdom’s China Push: King Abdullah II begins a state visit to China on Monday, with meetings with Xi Jinping and top officials and talks with leading Chinese firms on new economic and investment cooperation. Investment & Industry Outlook: The investment minister said Jordan sees China as a strategic partner aligned with the Economic Modernisation Vision, especially in advanced manufacturing, digital transformation and green development. Public Sector Modernisation: Government reports 92% completion of public sector modernisation targets for the first half of 2026, with digital services expanding and activated digital IDs reaching 2.8 million. Tourism & Pilgrimage Development: Jordan signed four agreements worth about $120m to develop the Baptism Site area ahead of the 2030 second millennium celebrations, including a museum, pilgrims’ village and infrastructure upgrades. Local Implementation Watch: A Jerash governorate panel highlighted gaps between announced projects and on-the-ground delivery, with some commitments reportedly completed while others await studies or future budgets. Trade & Consumer Market: The Jordan Chamber of Commerce warned about misleading pricing of electrical appliances, saying supply is available and competition should benefit consumers. Regional Shipping Risk: Jordan condemned attacks on ADNOC tankers in the Strait of Hormuz as security risks continue to disrupt commercial shipping.
