Internal Economic Situation

General situation
Moderate GDP-growth with regional political instability having an unfavourable impact on tourism and FDI. Inflation has reached 6.4% in 2011 despite risen price subsidies on food and oil. Well capitalised and liquid financial sector; 5 banks dominate the sector. Moderately high corruption: 50th of 178 TI  Index. Jordan is the world’s 3rd largest supplier of phosphates.

Reasonable

Balance of payments 

Exports to Asia and trade with Iraq are the most dynamic; Jordan receives discounted oil from Iraq. The current account deficit peaked at 13% GDP in 2011. It is financed by (declined) FDI and (concessional) capital imports.
