JORDAN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Jordan's economy is among the smallest in the Middle East, with
insufficient supplies of water, oil, and other natural resources, underlying
the government's heavy reliance on foreign assistance. Other economic
challenges for the government include chronic high rates of poverty,
unemployment and underemployment, budget and current account deficits, and
government debt.
King ABDALLAH, during the first decade of the 2000s, implemented
significant economic reforms, such as expanding foreign trade and privatizing
state-owned companies that attracted foreign investment and contributed to
average annual economic growth of 8% for 2004 through 2008. The global economic
slowdown and regional turmoil contributed to slower growth from 2010 to 2017 -
with growth averaging 2.6% per year - and hurt export-oriented sectors,
construction, and tourism. Since the onset of the civil war in Syria and
resulting refugee crisis, one of Jordan’s most pressing socioeconomic
challenges has been managing the influx of 650,000 UN-registered refugees, more
than 80% of whom live in Jordan’s urban areas. Jordan’s own official census
estimated the refugee number at 1.3 million as of early 2016.
Jordan is nearly completely dependent on imported energy—mostly natural
gas—and energy consistently makes up 25-30 percent of Jordan’s imports. To
diversify its energy mix, Jordan has secured several contracts for liquefied
natural gas and is currently exploring nuclear power generation, exploitation
of abundant oil shale reserves and renewable technologies, as well as the
import of Israeli offshore gas. In August 2016, Jordan and the IMF agreed to a
$723 million Extended Fund Facility that aims to build on the three-year, $2.1
billion IMF program that ended in August 2015 with the goal of helping Jordan
correct budgetary and balance of payments imbalances.

COUNTRY
OUTLOOK
GDP growth
moderated during 2015 to an estimated 2.4 %, the slowest pace in four years,
magnifying already-high unemployment. Security spill
overs from regional conflict worsened, negatively impacting tourism,
construction, investment and trade. However, growth in a number of sectors held
up well through the third quarter of 2015, including in finance and insurance
services, transport, storage and communications, electricity and water, and
mining and quarrying. Unemployment rose to 13.0 % in 2015, an increase of 1.1 %
age points relative to 2014. There was a mild deflation for most of 2015 due to
further falls in global oil prices, a weakened Euro, a negative output gap, and
easing of supply side pressures experienced in previous years (notably on
housing prices, due to the large influx of refugees in 2012-13). Monetary
policy remained expansionary with the central bank reducing the key policy
lending rate by 125 basis points during the course of 2015. International
reserves slightly rose to $ 14.2 billion (7.5 months of imports) by end-2015.
The fiscal deficit
was narrower in 2015 thanks to lower expenditures and lower transfers to the
National Electric Power Company (NEPCO), which
outweighed the fall in domestic revenues and grants. NEPCO resorted to
borrowing from commercial banks instead of the government in 2015 providing a
7.0 % of GDP relief to the fiscal balance, without which the fiscal deficit
would have widened. NEPCO’s debt continues to be government guaranteed and
combined with the fiscal deficit and slowing GDP growth contributed to pushing
the gross debt to GDP ratio to an estimated 93 % at end-2015.
The current account
deficit is expected to have widened in 2015, mainly due to lower public
transfers and a 7.1 % fall in tourism receipts, and despite a narrowing trade
deficit. The merchandise trade balance narrowed by 14 % on
account of a 40.4 % fall in energy imports. These outweighed a 7.1 %
contraction of direct exports (themselves buttressed by 10.9 % growth in
phosphate exports) affected by land trade route closures with Syria and Iraq,
traditionally Jordan’s largest export partner. Remittances are slowing, growing
by only 1.5 % during 2015.
Growth is expected
to improve to 3.0 % in 2016, assuming no further worsening in the regional
security situation and associated spill overs. This is driven by
an expansion in mining and quarrying sector and positive base effect of tourism
and construction sectors. Jordan is working towards an Extended Fund Facility
(EFF) with the IMF. The EFF is anticipated to support further fiscal
consolidation efforts in parallel with growth-enhancing and job-creating
structural reforms. The baseline growth forecasts assume agreement on an EFF
leading to a fiscal adjustment and a lower debt-to-GDP level. The balance of
risks is on the downside. Managing repercussions from the regional security and
political situation is a key risk in addition to the challenges of hosting a
substantial number of Syrian refugees. Additionally, persistently low oil
prices are a risk this year and in the medium term, given their potential impact
on remittances, exports, FDI and grants from the GCC. Fiscal adjustment
measures are likely to be difficult. Furthermore, the willingness and speed of
reform implementation particularly to improve the business climate will be
crucial to meet the country’s investment aspirations.
