the digital economy and the necessary business environment. Here, further positive change is expected

In the following, we present the overall target opportunities to aspire to by 2025 as well as Jordan’s
position in key indices.
TARGET OPPORTUNITIES TO ACCELERATE GROWTH IN JORDAN BY 2025
The overall targets are built on benchmarks from international good practice countries. This means that
they are based on growth figures from other countries that have invested heavily in the digital economy
and benefitted from it. This also means that the targets should be seen as growth opportunities for Jordan,
if the country succeeds in the transformation to a digital economy. This requires a full implementation of
the proposed action framework within the proposed timeframe. If timely action is not taken immediately,
other key sectors will not benefit from digitization and the tech sector will continue to decline and loose
relevance on the global market.
The key proposed high-level targets to be set up for each of these high-level areas are shown in Table 2.
The targets set are assuming a serious implementation effort starting in the first year and constant push
for results and impact.
