King reviews economic vision's implementation progress in first half of 2025
AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday reviewed progress in implementation of the Economic Modernisation Vision's executive programme during the first half of this year. During a meeting at Al Husseiniya Palace, attended by HRH Crown Prince Hussein, His Majesty was briefed by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan and the concerned ministers on the vision's current projects and most notable achievements to date, according to a Royal Court statement. His Majesty highlighted the importance of committing to implementation within the set timeframe in order to ensure desired results are achieved. The King was also briefed on the outcomes of the Economic Modernisation Vision's second phase workshops, hosted by the Royal Hashemite Court over 12 days in July, during which experts from the private sector, academia, and civil society evaluated progress in the first phase of the vision (2023-2025) and provided recommendations for its second phase as the government begins drafting the executive programme for the years 2026-2029. His Majesty stressed the importance of considering the outcomes of these workshops and the initiatives and priorities proposed for the next phase of the vision's executive programme, noting that this mechanism promotes a participatory approach, the statement said. The King called for focusing on improving the quality of services in the second phase, urging open and transparent communication with citizens to clarify the vision's initiatives, and the government's action plans.

Cabinet approves draft amendments to National Military Service Law
AMMAN — The Cabinet, during a session chaired by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan on Wednesday, endorsed the validating reasons for the 2025 amendments to the Military Service and Reserve Service Law, paving the way for its referral to the Legislative and Opinion Bureau for further action. The law has been given the urgency status, enabling its submission to the Lower House once Parliament reconvenes for its upcoming session, according to a Prime Ministry statement. The move follows Crown Prince Hussein's recent announcement regarding the reactivation of the National Service Programme. During a previous Cabinet meeting, prime minister said that the government, in collaboration with the Jordan Armed Forces–Arab Army (JAF), would complete all necessary preparations ahead of the programme's scheduled launch in February 2026. Funding for the initiative will be drawn from 2025's emergency allocations and integrated into the 2026 state budget, the statement said. The Cabinet also approved the 2025 bylaw for the fund for supporting vocational and technical education. The legislation is aimed at bolstering the fund's role in creating employment, promoting productive engagement, and supporting educational and training initiatives. The fund will provide financing for various projects and production branches, particularly in rural, Badia, and remote areas, in line with directives issued by His Majesty King Abdullah. These efforts aim to generate local employment and reduce regional disparities, according to the statement. As part of the productive branches initiative, the government will subsidise workers by covering 50 per cent of the minimum wage, alongside JD25 towards social security contributions and an additional JD25 for transportation. To date, the fund has helped create nearly 10,000 job opportunities, with approximately 95 per cent of these positions secured by women in rural and Badia regions, the statement said. Green hydrogen As part of Jordan's strategy to position itself as a regional energy hub, the Cabinet approved a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and China's United Energy Group. The agreement focuses on feasibility studies for a green hydrogen project, particularly in the field of green methanol production. The MoU forms part of broader efforts to attract green energy investment, leverage available incentives, localise clean industry, and generate employment, according to the statement. In support of tourism development, the Cabinet authorised the Jordan Free and Development Zones Group to proceed with partial financing of several key projects in Ajloun and the Dead Sea region in 2025. These include infrastructure work for Ajloun Forest Reserve (Phases I and II), a visitor centre and trail connecting to the historic castle, as well as the Dead Sea public beach project, a beachfront park, and the rehabilitation of surrounding structures.

Burgan Bank Hosts 'Bring Your Kids to Work Day' to Celebrate Family and a People-Centered Workplace
As part of its ongoing efforts to foster a positive, people-centered workplace, Burgan Bank hosted a special 'Bring Your Kids to Work Day' – a first of its kind initiative for the Bank. The initiative welcomed employees' children between the ages of 5 and 15 for a day filled with learning, creativity, and hands-on experiences that brought the world of banking to life. More than just a fun-filled day, the event was a reflection of Burgan Bank's dedication to employee wellbeing, family engagement, and sustainability – key pillars of its workplace culture and ESG strategy. Through immersive activities such as a simulated bank branch experience, interactive workshops on recycling, and business-minded challenges like product selling and presentation practice, young participants explored essential life skills in a playful, inspiring environment. 'At Burgan Bank, our workplace is not just about running the business, it's about belonging,' said Naqeeb Amin, General Manager – Human Resources and Development for the Group at Burgan Bank. 'Welcoming our employees' children into our corporate world is a powerful way to connect values across generations, spark curiosity, and show what purpose-driven banking looks like. This event falls within Burgan Bank's 'Teach Them Young' campaign, which aims to broaden the professional and practical horizons of adolescents and youth, while fostering a conscious and responsible generation. It also aligns with the 'Let's Be Aware' (Diraya) financial literacy and banking awareness initiative – launched by the Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK) and the Kuwait Banking Association (KBA), with the support of Kuwaiti banks – demonstrating our commitment to instilling a banking culture in young people from an early age and empowering the future generation.' Highlights of the day included a 'Junior Banker of the Day' experience, art and craft sessions, a cake design workshop, a treasure hunt across the Bank's premises, and a mini-Olympics challenge to encourage teamwork. Children also learned the basics of entrepreneurship by selling the products they made and presenting their work, all under the guidance of the Bank's dedicated team of employee volunteers aided by older children of Burgan employees. This initiative reflects Burgan Bank's deep-rooted commitment to enriching lives and fostering a people-centric culture. It aligns with the Bank's long-term objective to be a trusted, innovative, and progressive institution – driven by its people and inspiring future generations through engaging, high value-driven and purposeful experiences. Grounded in Burgan Bank's core values of trust, commitment, excellence, progression, and people-first thinking, the event also supports the Bank's ESG objectives and reinforces its position as a certified Great Place to Work®. Additionally, it endorses the Bank's dedication to fostering an inclusive, engaging, and sustainable workplace – one that places people and purpose at the heart of its ecosystem.
