This program will build on the successes of AMIR II while adopting new approaches to stimulate continued economic growth and reform in Jordan. The project will work with both the public and private sectors to achieve two principle goals: 1) increasing the number of jobs available to Jordanians and 2) enhancing the competitiveness of Jordanian firms (ranging from micro through small, medium and large). It will have four components: strengthen capital markets; improve business enabling environment; expand trade and investment; and improve private sector competitiveness. Designed to be a flexible instrument, it will be able to respond to evolving needs in Jordan.
