Water debt calculations reveal no surprises
The article addresses the issue of the water sector's debt in Jordan, noting that statements suggest the debt could reach 15 billion dinars due to the government's continued subsidization of water prices below their actual cost. It explains that government support was approximately 250 million dinars annually but has decreased to 160 million dinars; however, the gap remains, leading to accumulated debt that constitutes about 12% of the total public debt. The article emphasizes the need to reconsider the tariff system and direct support to eligible groups to ensure the sustainability of public finances and services.
