In a nutshell
- Progress towards the SDGs requires commitment to a sustainable development agenda, strong institutions, quality governance and adequate financing
- Jordan is committed to the SDGs and its governance structure can support the necessary actions to advance the SDGs
- In global rankings, Jordan scores highest in terms of its domestic financial system, institutions and skills, and lowest in terms of macroeconomic performance, private sector development and employment creation
- Looking ahead, the binding constraint in Jordan until 2030, save any new external shocks, is likely to be financing that been constrained by legacy budget deficits, high public debt and the still increasing debt repayment obligations.
