Jordan plans to issue tenders for almost $10 billion in national projects before the end of 2026, the country’s prime minister has said.

The government is working to finalise agreements and secure financial closure for key projects between 2028 and 2030, the state-run Jordan News Agency (Petra) reported, quoting Jaafar Hassan.

The government has allocated JOD1.6 billion ($2.3 billion) for projects and capital expenditures in 2026 to drive economic growth and fund strategic initiatives.

Key projects include the National Water Carrier, Aqaba-Shidiyah/Maan-Ghor Al-Safi Railway, Al-Risha Gas Pipeline and Amra City.

The prime minister said that the government has doubled capital expenditure on the National Water Carrier project to JOD250 million over the next four years and allocated JOD100 million for the Al-Risha Gas project over the next three years.

Hassan said the second phase of the economic modernisation vision for 2026-2029, covering 24 sectors, will be launched in the coming weeks.

Some of the vision objectives include increasing per capita income by an average of 3 percent per year, creating jobs for more than 1 million youth and ranking one Jordanian city among the top 100 cities in the world.

This month the finance ministry said Jordan’s debt reached its highest-ever level at the end of September as the kingdom continued to borrow to finance its budget deficit.

Foreign debt rose to JOD19.9 billion from JOD19.3 billion, accounting for 54 percent of the country’s liabilities at the end of September.

Budget deficit stood at around JOD1.8 billion in the first nine months of this year against a shortfall of JOD2.8 billion in 2024, the ministry’s report showed.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
