Economists have described recent remarks by World Bank Managing Director of Operations Anna Bjerde as an important international endorsement of Jordan’s ability to withstand and adapt to successive economic and geopolitical shocks in one of the world’s most volatile regions.

Speaking to the Jordan News Agency (Petra), experts said Bjerde’s positive assessment reflects the success of Jordan’s monetary and fiscal policies, the stability of the Jordanian dinar, and the growth of foreign currency reserves. They also highlighted the impact of the Kingdom’s Economic Modernization Vision and public sector reform efforts aimed at enhancing competitiveness, improving the business environment, and investing in human capital.

The economists stressed, however, that the next phase should focus on accelerating economic growth, creating jobs, and attracting high-quality investments.

During a recent visit to Jordan, Bjerde said that the best way to address current challenges is through investment that strengthens resilience. She noted that Jordan has successfully adopted this approach, emphasizing that economic stability, sound macroeconomic and fiscal policies, and investments in human capital have enhanced the Kingdom’s ability to manage the repercussions of ongoing regional crises.
