国际货币基金组织周二与约旦当局达成员工级别协议，为作为该国四年救助计划一部分的2.94亿美元资金释放铺平道路。
The International Monetary Fund reached a staff-level agreement with Jordanian authorities on Tuesday to clear the way for the release of $294 million as part of the country's four-year bailout program."
“尽管中东长期战争带来的持续逆风和高度不确定性，计划执行情况依然强劲，”国际货币基金组织驻约旦任务组组长塞萨尔·塞拉在声明中说。“第六次评估的所有量化绩效标准和大多数结构性基准均已达成，正稳步推进以实现计划的总体目标。”
Program performance has remained strong despite ongoing headwinds and elevated uncertainty stemming from the protracted war in the Middle East," said IMF mission chief Cesar Serra in a statement." All quantitative performance criteria and most structural benchmarks for the sixth review were met, and steady progress is being made toward achieving the program's overall objectives."
约旦于2024年启动了一项近12亿美元的救助计划，一年后又追加了7亿美元资金。最新一笔款项的释放尚待国际货币基金组织执行董事会批准。
Jordan began a nearly $1.2 billion bailout program in 2024, with an additional $700 million in funding added a year later. The release of the latest tranche is subject to approval by the IMF's executive board.
2月下旬，美国和以色列对伊朗发动战争，致使该地区陷入暴力冲突，德黑兰的报复行动瞄准了华盛顿的盟友，其中包括约旦。
In late February, the United States and Israel launched the war on Iran, plunging the region into violence as Tehran's retaliatory action targeted Washington's allies including Jordan.
然而，该国避免了战争最严重的经济冲击，冲击主要由地区石油出口国承受，这些国家经历了通过关键的霍尔木兹海峡的运输严重受阻。
The country has, however, avoided the worst of the economic fallout of the war, felt most by regional oil exporters who have seen transport through the key Strait of Hormuz badly impacted.
因此，随着其邻国的增长前景大幅下滑，约旦2026年的增长预测基本维持在2.7%不变，由国际货币基金组织维持。
As a result, as the outlook for growth for its neighbors has plunged, Jordan saw the IMF leave its 2026 growth forecast largely unchanged at 2.7 percent."
“约旦经济继续展现韧性，得益于当局对审慎宏观经济政策的承诺、为减轻地区冲突溢出效应采取的主动措施，以及国际伙伴的大力支持，”国际货币基金组织的塞拉说。
Jordan's economy has continued to demonstrate resilience, supported by the authorities' commitment to prudent macroeconomic policies, proactive measures to mitigate the spillovers from the regional conflict, and strong support from international partners," said the IMF's Serra."
“虽然战争通过降低旅游收入、增加贸易和运输成本、削弱外国直接投资以及加剧能源价格波动，对约旦经济造成了压力，但这些逆风迄今为止在很大程度上已被抵消。”
While the war has weighed on Jordan's economy through lower tourism inflows, higher trade and transportation costs, weaker foreign direct investment, and elevated energy price volatility, these headwinds have thus far been largely offset."
国际货币基金组织赞扬了约旦的改革计划，但表示在加强私营部门竞争、提高劳动力市场灵活性等方面的努力还可以加强。
The IMF praised Jordan's reform program, but said efforts could be strengthened in enhancing private sector competition, increasing labor market flexibility and encouraging firms to enter the formal economy.
鼓励企业进入正规经济。自1985年以来，约旦与国际货币基金组织开展了多个项目，并有约4.8亿美元的债务将于2027年底前到期偿还。
Jordan has had a number of programs with the IMF since 1985 and has approximately $480 million in debt to the lender coming due by the end of 2027.
