Introduction
In 2018, Jordan has experienced multiple economic challenges due to the 2008 global financial crisis,
this has been exacerbated by deteriorating economic performance in some countries that had
historically strong trade relations with Jordan .
Public finance of the country was also affected by the decline of grants and domestic revenues that
were originally deteriorated as a result of modest growth, which led to the deterioration of the public
debt in the past few years .
Despite the all the aforementioned challenges and obstacles, Jordan continues to work on overcoming
hardships in the journey of economic reform in; Jordan has launched its programme for the next two
years. Jordan is also trying to resume its trade relation with neighbouring countries such as Syria and
Iraq .
