Akour said the programme, which began at the start of 2025, also includes agricultural loans for farmers and rural families across the villages and districts of Irbid Governorate. 'So far, around 136 farmers have benefited from the loans,' the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. As of June 24, the total value of loans disbursed by the branch reached JD 2,061,444, distributed across several categories. Interest-free loans to livestock breeders amounted to JD 325,000, benefiting 90 recipients, he said.

Rural financing projects received JD203,000, supporting 55 borrowers, while JD1,185,000 was directed toward land reclamation, livestock development, and food processing projects, aiding 200 farmers. Akour emphasised the corporation's role in supporting the sustainability of the agricultural sector this year, particularly amid a delayed rainy season and low rainfall.

Jordan: IMF Executive Board approves 3rd review of Jordan's EFF Programme
AMMAN — The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has completed the third review of Jordan's four-year Extended Fund Facility (EFF), enabling the Kingdom to draw an additional $134 million, the Fund announced on Wednesday. The latest disbursement brings total financing under the EFF arrangement to nearly $595 million since its approval in January 2024. The programme aims to support Jordan's economic reform efforts and help maintain macroeconomic stability amid ongoing regional challenges. In a significant show of support, the IMF also announced a separate $700 million programme under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), aimed at helping Jordan tackle long-term challenges in the energy, water, and health sectors. Following the IMF Board's meeting, Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair Kenji Okamura praised Jordan for holding steady despite tough regional conditions. 'Growth in 2024 and so far in 2025 has exceeded expectations. Inflation is low, reserve buffers are strong, and the authorities are pursuing sound fiscal and monetary policies,' Okamura said. According to the IMF, Jordan's international reserves topped $20 billion by the end of 2024, and the country's external position remains stable, with the current account deficit projected to stay near 6 per cent of GDP. The Fund attributed the stable inflation and strong reserve position to the Central Bank for helping keep inflation in check and maintaining investor confidence through its commitment to the exchange rate peg. The Fund also welcomed the government's gradual steps to reduce public debt while maintaining essential spending on social support and public investment. Jordan recorded a 2.5 per cent growth rate in 2024, and economic activity is expected to gradually strengthen going forward. The new $700 million in RSF support will go toward reforms to strengthen the electricity and water sectors and boost Jordan's ability to respond to future health crises. 'These reforms are critical to strengthening Jordan's long-term economic resilience,' Okamura said. The IMF reaffirmed its backing for Jordan's broader reform plans, which focus on encouraging private-sector growth, improving the business environment, and creating more opportunities, especially for youth and women. The IMF emphasized the need for continued international support, noting that Jordan continues to feel the pressure of regional instability and the responsibility of hosting large numbers of refugees. © Copyright The Jordan Times.
