The Council of Ministers Tuesday entrusted the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation to put forward an executive plan and performance criteria for the recently-endorsed 2018-2022 government plan to stimulate the Jordanian economy, and to incorporate these into the consecutive development programmes as a top priority for execution.

The cabinet also assigned the planning ministry, in coordination with the concerned ministries, to carry out the five-year scheme and draw up the executive programme and performance criteria for all the interventions, initiatives and projects of 2018-2022 and incorporate these into the executive development programmes as a top priority for implementation, as these will be the basis for setting the consecutive budgets.

The cabinet had endorsed the five-year plan to spur the national economy earlier this month.
