Gov’t team completes review of economy growth blueprint
Apr 04,2018 - Last updated at Apr 04,2018
AMMAN — The government’s economic team has finalised reviewing and updating of the Economic Growth Plan (EGP), a Prime Ministry statement said on Tuesday.
The team began the process in February 2018 applying a comprehensive approach, engaging all concerned ministries and government agencies, according to the statement.
The revision covered expected cost of projects listed in the plan and resetting the scale of priorities, based on progress made in implementation and the availability of funds.
The project listed in the plan, which was adopted by the government in 2017, will be updated every six month in light of their financial needs.
A prime ministry’s unit in charge of following up on public agencies’ achievements will conduct the updates and publish them on the website dedicated to the blueprint, www.egp.jo.
The EGP was prepared last year by Economic Policies Council to be implemented over five years (2018-2022), aiming to double growth rates within the set timeframe, according to the statement, which added that the plan is a road map that steers public agencies’ efforts to realise its goal.
During the implementation of the plan, the concerned bodies will conduct meetings to discuss how best to improve the plan, and propose new projects and programmes.
The team will receive inquiries and notes related to the blueprint through the website and will have it answered by the relevant ministers and officials as of the current month, said the statement.
