Over the past decade, Jordan has seen capita has increased from JD (1512) in ignificant resources in infrastructure development achievements, maintained considerable economic and social achievements; GDP per 2004 to about JD (3670) in 2014. Jordan has also invested facilities serving the citizens, made remarkable human stability and attracted foreign and domestic investment. These achievements were accompanied by some challenges that are still unresolved, mainly the development gap between governorates, high unemployment rates, especially among young people, low female economic participation and the relative decline in certain competitiveness indicators. However, the general situation in Jordan, the level of infrastructure and the institutional development help Jordan to leap ahead and start addressing and overcoming challenges. His Majesty King Abdullah Il has highlighted the most prominent challenges, the way to the future and the social and economic model that we aspire in his letter to the government to develop this vision for the next decade. “Jordan 2025” charts a path for the future and determines the integrated economic and social framework that will govern the economic and social policies based on providing opportunities for all. Its basic principles include promoting the rule of law and equal opportunities, increasing participatory policy making, achieving fiscal sustainability and strengthening institutions. To achieve this, it is necessary to improve infrastructure, enhance education and health and strengthen the role of the private sector and civil society institutions to contribute to the development process. Based on these principles, the vision proposes a roadmap for the future that requires consensus among broad segments of society on the roadmap and the roles of all concerned authorities and stakeholders, led by the private sector, which should play a prominent role in achieving the desired objectives. The government should also provide an enabling environment to achieve this. In addition, the success in achieving the vision and implementing policies contained therein requires a commitment by citizens, the government, the private sector and the civil society, reflecting the ideology of active citizenship referred to in His Majesty's discussion papers. Given the difficulty of predicting the future and the many changes that are ahead, "Jordan 2025” is based on identifying a set of goals that we aspire to, how they can be achieved through certain procedures and policies that will be adopted on the sector level according to a flexible timetable that takes into account the developments on the global and regional levels and how to adapt to those changes. Therefore, the vision offers two scenarios depending on the progress achieved and the degree of commitment to implement the agreed upon policies. The baseline scenario assumes adopting some, and not all, of reform measures that are contained in the second section of this document. Consequently, growth rates achieved depend on the progress achieved and the degree of commitment to implement the proposed policies. The targeted scenario assumes taking further measures that would achieve high growth rates; this scenario includes a number of interventions in various sectors that would launch the development process in many sectors in order to achieve high and sustainable growth rates, reduce unemployment and poverty and increase economic participation, especially among young people and women. This scenario assumes a balanced and consistent distribution of roles between public and private sectors, a commitment to the implementation and institutionalization of the public- private partnership. The most important goal that the vision seeks to achieve is improving the welfare of citizens and the basic services provided to them, to create a balanced society where opportunities are available to all and the gap between governorates is bridged. The vision puts Jordanian citizens in the heart of the development process; success and failure are measured by the extent of the progress made at the level of individuals, and therefore the welfare of the community. On the economic and social level, the goal is to achieve self-reliance and financial stability based on financial sustainability, enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the Jordanian economy, gradually eliminate all forms of indiscriminate subsidies and target groups who really deserve the subsidy. This would further strengthen the economy's resilience and reduce the impact of external shocks.
