Prime Minister Bisher Khasawneh commended the efforts of the Ministry of Finance in maintaining financial stability and adopting prudent policies in dealing with public finances after the inauguration of the ministry’s new building in Shmeisani in Amman on Sunday.
In a meeting with the Minister of Finance Mohammad Ississ and other officials, the Prime Minister underscored that these prudent policies have maintained the standard of living, particularly protecting the middle class from the repercussions of global crises.
The ministry’s efforts, he indicated, have exceeded the target figures for public revenues without raising taxes and maintained the Kingdom’s standing on global credit ratings at either a fixed rate or higher, pointing to the success of the five revisions of the economic reform program with the International Monetary Fund and maintaining an acceptable inflation rate.
Khasawneh stressed the need to continue enhancing performance and address any issues to achieve national goals and serve the national economy, instructing the ministry’s staff to continue working on programs to automate services and facilitate procedures.
