Economic council addresses solutions for helping hard-hit sectors adapt

AMMAN — The meeting of the advisory council for economic policies, chaired by Prime Minister Omar Razzaz on Wednesday, focused on developing an integrated vision to help sectors hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic to adapt to the current situation and move towards the recovery stage.

During the meeting, Razzaz stressed that the government’s measures and decisions taken during the past weeks came following discussions with representatives from the private sector and related sectors to find applicable solutions within economic limits, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Highlighting the recent system developed to underpin the tourism sector, the Kingdom’s hardest-hit sector, Razzaz said that the government is “continuing to develop new proposals to support the agriculture, construction, housing and trade sectors”, highlighting that there is “no way for any country to compensate the losses sustained during the past period”.
