Dear Colleague,
Jordan’s deficits and debt are falling as a share of gross domestic product and the country’s most recent Eurobond sale was six times oversubscribed. Writing in the latest issue [ https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fandd/issues/2023/09/POV-Jordan-fiscal-ownership-mohamad-al-ississ?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] of F&D magazine, Jordan’s Finance *Minister Mohamad Al-Ississ* explains how his country achieved this remarkable fiscal feat.
For policymakers, managing fiscal risk is not about neat mathematical equations or econometric models, Al-Ississ writes. “It is about the political economy of owning reforms and tailoring them to your country’s circumstances.” [ https://www.bookstore.imf.org/templates/fdec2?cid=nl-com-compc-compcfdnl&source=compcfdnl&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]
