Jordan has secured more than $2 billion in grants and concessional loans to build a series of development projects, according to local media.
The agreements were signed last month with the World Bank, Germany’s KfW Development Bank, the Netherlands embassy and the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD), Jordan Times newspaper reported, quoting the communications ministry.
The funds will support economic modernisation, improve infrastructure and strengthen social safety systems, the paper said.
The World Bank will provide loans worth $1.1 billion to boost economic growth, as well as build startups and small- and medium-sized enterprises.
In addition, the ministry signed a €200 million ($215 million) loan agreement with KfW.
The Netherlands also granted €31 million to support the national water carrier project, which is designed to desalinate 300 million cubic metres of water annually.
In collaboration with AFESD, Jordan launched a new five-year country partnership strategy (2025-29) valued at $690 million. It prioritises investment in water and energy infrastructure and private sector development, the report said.
