Efficiency concerns amid high unemployment, rising public debt, and sluggish growth not translating into higher citizens' income

The policy paper issued by the Performance Index Center highlights that Jordan's economic growth forecast for 2025 stands at approximately 3%, with the gross domestic product rising to 37.2 billion dinars. However, the per capita income decreased to $4,065 compared to $4,705 in 2024, amid persistent unemployment rates above 21% and an increasing public debt reaching 117.4% of GDP. The paper indicates that economic growth has not significantly translated into improved living standards for citizens, and it recommends comprehensive reforms to promote justice and sustainable development.
