ESCWA: Jordan bears costs for war impacts
United Nations estimates indicate that Jordan bears the highest additional financial burden among Arab countries, accounting for 0.691% of its GDP, due to the impact of the US-Israeli conflict with Iran. The government has reduced the prices of flour and wheat to mitigate the effects of rising fuel prices, while maintaining stable gas prices and gradually increasing oil prices. Additionally, power plants are operating using alternative fuels at an extra cost of approximately 3 million dinars daily. The government confirmed that it is covering part of these costs to lessen the impact of the crisis, including safeguarding a strategic stockpile of basic commodities and continuing support for electricity and fuel prices, in an effort to maintain market stability and reduce the crisis’s effect on citizens’ livelihoods.
