He noted that the team is in Washington to hold a series of intensive talks with World Bank management, donors, and financing institutions during the annual meetings.
Al-Majali emphasized that a primary goal of the delegation is to reinforce Jordan's international partnerships with various donors, which will support the country’s development priorities in line with its vision for economic modernization and a detailed roadmap for public sector reform. Furthermore, the delegation aims to review Jordan's financing portfolio with the World Bank and discuss how to direct future development assistance to meet the financing needs necessary for implementing economic and administrative modernization initiatives.
Currently, the World Bank's active portfolio in Jordan is valued at approximately $4.1 billion, covering about 18 ongoing projects and investments worth $538.4 million. This participation in the Annual Meetings highlights Jordan’s dedication to advancing sustainable development and strengthening economic resilience through strategic collaborations with international partners.
