AMMAN, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- Jordan's Prime Minister Omar Razzaz on Sunday announced new government measures to stimulate the national economy and boost investments.
During an event at the Royal Cultural Center, Razzaz said the new measures include four aspects as stimulating the economy and investment, management and financial reform, improving citizens' livelihood, and improving services comprehensively.
The government is keen on improving citizens' livelihoods, as they have been feeling that prices and spending increase while income remain the same, he said, adding that unemployment remains high among the youth in Jordan.
Measures also aim to reduce cost of energy for business, provide more incentives and facilities to investors, create more jobs for Jordanians, boost investments, lower fees for the agricultural sector, and offer incentives for the industrial sector and exports.
