11873_2002 Study D2: Poverty, Informal Sector, Health and Labour 1. COUNTRY PROFILE: ESSENTIAL FIGURES Jordan is a small Arab country with inadequate supplies of natural resources. Since the early 1990s, Jordan has undertaken considerable stabilization and adjustment efforts. The IMF, the World Bank Group, EU, and several bilateral donors have supported these efforts. The economy’s initial response to the Government’s reform program was strong. Economic fundamentals in the first half of this decade were quite satisfactory: a high average growth rate of 7.6 percent per annum (until 1996 when it began to deteriorate). A reduction in the fiscal deficit, low inflation, and sound monetary management, which helped in the build-up of foreign exchange reserves to a healthy level (current balance of over 5 months of coverage of imports). The current account during this period remained essentially balanced. The economic situation began to deteriorate in 1996 with growth falling below the population growth rate resulting in approximately a twopercent decline in per capita income per annum during 1996-98 period. The decline occurred largely because the country faced several unfavorable factors that were outside its control, including lack of progress in the peace process, declining oil prices, thus reducing the market for Jordanian exports in neighboring countries, and spillover from the general slowdown in the Asian economies. 1.1 Population 1 : 5,29000 Age structure: 0-14 years: 36.6% (male 991,370; female 949,247) 15-64 years: 60% (male 1,698,568; female 1,485,261) 65 years and over: 3.4% (male 90,186; female 92,838) 1 Data are for the year 2002 unless other wise mentioned.
