Cabinet endorses updated EMV's 2025 executive programme

AMMAN — The Cabinet, during a session chaired by Prime Minister Jafar Hassan, on Sunday endorsed the updated executive programme for the Economic Modernisation Vision (EMV) for 2025, which began implementation in 2023.

Chairing the session, Hassan said: "The updated executive programme builds on previous initiatives with modifications made following extensive consultation with the private sector."

He noted that the reviews revealed some delayed programmes from previous years, which will be prioritised for completion in 2025, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. 

The prime minister stressed that the programme represents a government commitment to citizens, the Parliament and media outlets.

"Its proper implementation requires sincere efforts and genuine partnership with the private sector, which has been involved since the vision's inception," he said.

Planning for the next phase has already begun, where the government is scheduled to develop the 2026-2029 executive programme during the second quarter of this year.

"We aim to complete the programme by summer to utilise it for the 2026 budget preparation, which we hope to finalise with the Parliament before year-end," Hassan pointed out.

The prime minister directed ministries to begin capital expenditure disbursement without delay and according to priorities to ensure "timely"project implementation.

He stressed the importance of integrated government operations, highlighting continued activation of monitoring units within ministries and the government performance and achievement follow-up unit at the Prime Ministry.

"We are accountable for our commitments before His Majesty King Abdullah, the Parliament and citizens. There is no room for delay or negligence," Hassan underscored.

Rafat Dasan, director of the government performance and achievement follow-up unit, briefed the Cabinet on key projects for 2025.

Dasan noted that this year concludes the first executive programme (2023-2025) of the EMV, which established foundations for subsequent programmes in 2026-2029 and 2030-2033.

The government will issue quarterly progress reports on initiatives and projects through the government performance monitoring system, available on the Prime Ministry's website, he noted.

The unit has been restructured to enhance its oversight role, with appropriate governance mechanisms established for ministerial monitoring units.

Detailed information about 2025 initiatives and projects, along with progress updates, is available on the performance dashboard at pmdu.gov.jo.

The government has also published its 2024 executive programme progress report on the same platform under the "general performance reports" section.
