According to an IMF report released on Friday, the
Jordanian government is preparing to implement the new electricity tariffs as of the end
of March 2022. The tariff aims to enhance the competitiveness of the private
sector and reduce cross-subsidization.
The planned reductions in business tariffs would amount to
JD40 million per year, mostly in the commercial and industrial sectors. The
report also pointed out that the Jordanian government is preparing to launch an
online platform so that families can have access to subsidized electricity.
The IMF also called on donors to support refugees affected
by the new electricity tariffs, especially those with the lowest income among
refugees in Jordan.
