Jordan ministries cut costs by 21.5%
Reports from the Ministry of Finance confirmed that Jordan achieved an operational expenditure surplus across ministries during the first nine months of 2026, amounting to approximately 94 million Jordanian dinars (about 21.5%) of the allocated budgets for this period. This was the result of adopting measures to streamline and enhance expenditure efficiency. The surplus included reductions in items such as rent, electricity, services, communications, materials, and insurance, with the highest savings rates in stationery and office supplies (45.2%) and electricity (28.9%). The report also indicated that the government’s plan aims to reduce operational expenses across ministries by 15% next year, through strategies related to improving energy consumption efficiency and cost reduction. These include projects like smart lighting systems and the unification of procurement and storage processes to boost efficiency and lower costs.
