Al-Darawi: Improvements in Public Debt Management
Economic analyst Salama Al-Deraiawi confirmed that Jordan's debt management over the past two years has undergone a qualitative transformation. It is no longer viewed solely in terms of its size and its ratio to GDP, but as a financial portfolio that requires strategic management of costs, maturities, sources of borrowing, and the allocation of financing. Efforts have been made to reduce debt interest costs by leveraging Jordan’s international relations to obtain concessional loans, which saved approximately 45 million dinars in 2025. This has enabled the allocation of resources toward improving public services or financing capital projects. Borrowing has also been directed more towards covering the budget deficit and funding economically viable projects. Additionally, there is oversight of the Social Security Investment Fund’s investments in government bonds, which generate profits of up to 550 million dinars annually. Emphasis has been placed on the fact that debt management calls for long-term institutional strategies, including binding laws to maintain debt levels and achieve economic growth.
