The minister made the remarks while welcoming a delegation from the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, a global affairs think-tank, according to statement by the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation. The meeting discussed Middle East issues and the repercussions of regional crises on Jordan's economy. In this context, Fakhoury gave a briefing on the economic situation in Jordan and financial challenges arising from regional crises and how to address them.
He pointed out that current efforts are focused on financial and economic stability, increasing growth rates and employment. The minister noted the current economic challenges and the financial and humanitarian consequences that Jordan is facing due the regional situation, especially those of hosting the Syrian refugees and the pressure they caused on the national economy, the infrastructure, and the services sectors such education and health, which added great burdens on the general budget and the host communities.
He stressed the importance of the continuation of supporting Jordan by the international community. The Planning Minister said that Jordan has been subjected to several unprecedented external shocks since 2011 that have affected the Jordanian economy and cannot be easily borne.
