Cabinet Approves Water and Energy Policies
The Jordanian Cabinet approved a package of decisions and legislation aimed at strengthening water security, energy, economic development, and anti-corruption measures. Among these, a draft amended law was approved to elect an independent commission that ensures the neutrality of employees and prevents them from belonging to political parties during their service, while updating its powers to guarantee the integrity of electoral processes. Legislation to combat money laundering and terrorist financing was also approved to reinforce the national framework. Additionally, facilitation measures were introduced for the national water carrier project, which aims to desalinate 300 million cubic meters annually to supply 40% of drinking water, and to increase grain procurement from farmers to support local agriculture. Several procedures were implemented to rationalize government fuel consumption and to develop port systems to ensure the availability of basic goods and support exports. An EU grant agreement worth 110 million euros was signed to achieve economic and social reforms, and to enhance institutional management through the modernization of their systems.
