ESCWA: Jordan Tops Arab War Impact Costs
UN estimates indicate that Jordan bears the highest additional financial burden among Arab countries due to the effects of the US-Israeli war with Iran, amounting to approximately 0.691% of its GDP. This is to help reduce poverty and maintain the purchasing power of households. The government has implemented numerous measures to mitigate the war's impact, including lowering the prices of flour and wheat, bolstering strategic reserves of basic commodities, rationalizing public spending, and sharing some of the energy and electricity costs—all aimed at maintaining market stability and serving citizens. Officials have also emphasized that Jordan continues to shoulder part of the costs to limit the economic and social repercussions of the war, despite the increasing financial challenges.
