The assessment report is a final product of the Asia and Middle East Economic Growth Best Practices project (AMEG), which is designed to support USAID missions in developing effective and efficient economic growth programs that address technical and strategic challenges. The report provides an introduction to Jordan's macroeconomic performance and structure and examines the field assessment's key lines of inquiry such as fiscal environment, taxation, customs and trade facilitation, the energy sector, policy analysis and political economic environment. It identifies the structure and performance of each inquiry and adds policy, administrative, and institutional environment, and its challenges and opportunities.The report's concluding section outlines key challenges and opportunities, and offers recommendations. Some of the findings include Jordan's lack of robust forum for soliciting and integrating input on economic policy issues from key stakeholders or the wider public and lack of institutional capacity to develop macroeconomic models. The report suggests facilitating national dialogue and consensus building on economic policy issues and building capacity to integrate stakeholder input.
