(MENAFN) Jordan's King on Sunday made his priorities clear when he asked prime minister to form a new government with a focus on economic growth.
The kingdom is one year into Jordan Vision 2025, a 10-year blueprint for economic and social development.
The plan is based on two scenarios: that Jordan's economy will grow by 4.8 percent or even 7.5 percent over the decade.
But both figures are a long way off for a country with a stagnating economy and few resources besides its strategic location. There's no oil, and despite a wealth of sunshine, little solar energy.
It's worth mentioning that Jordan is the world's second water-poorest nation, which make agri-business project expensive.
