Deputy Thahub Denies Jordan Bank Withdrawal
The article clarifies the government's claim regarding the allocation of approximately 300 million dinars in savings from the cost of public debt interest in Jordan between 2024 and 2025. It explained that this figure reflects the difference between the increase in annual interest payments over these two years, rather than an actual saving or repayment from banks. Interest on the debt rose from 1.75 billion dinars in 2023 to 2.15 billion in 2024, and then to 2.24 billion in 2025. The rate of increase slowed from 396 million dinars in 2024 to around 90.9 million in 2025. The report emphasized that the government has succeeded in improving the terms of financing some debts and refinancing them under better conditions. However, the total interest payments remain high, accounting for about 20% of current expenditures, and more than one billion dinars continue to be paid annually to service interest, highlighting ongoing challenges related to the size and costs of the public debt.
