The program is broadly on track and, looking forward, will focus on deep tax reform. All end-2013 targets were met. The central government is expected to meet its end-March 2014 target, but the combined public sector deficit will be missed because of temporary shortfalls in gas delivery from Egypt. International reserves have continued to over-perform through March. The IMF staff supports the completion of the third and fourth reviews.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2014/152InvestmentsGovernment policyJordanInvestments, ForeignGovernment policyJordanInvestments, ForeignJordanBanks and BankingimfExports and ImportsimfFinance: GeneralimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfDebtimfDebt ManagementimfSovereign DebtimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfCurrent Account AdjustmentimfShort-term Capital MovementsimfInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsimfFiscal PolicyimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfPublic finance & taxationimfInternational economicsimfBankingimfFinanceimfFinancial services law & regulationimfPublic debtimfGovernment debt managementimfCurrent accountimfExternal debtimfRevenue administrationimfPublic financial management (PFM)imfBalance of paymentsimfDebts, PublicimfBanks and bankingimfDebts, ExternalimfFiscal policyimfRevenueimfJordanEconomic conditionsJordanEconomic policyJordanimfInvestmentsGovernment policyInvestments, ForeignGovernment policyInvestments, ForeignBanks and BankingExports and ImportsFinance: GeneralMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceDebtDebt ManagementSovereign DebtBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesCurrent Account AdjustmentShort-term Capital MovementsInternational Lending and Debt ProblemsFiscal PolicyTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralPublic finance & taxationInternational economicsBankingFinanceFinancial services law & regulationPublic debtGovernment debt managementCurrent accountExternal debtRevenue administrationPublic financial management (PFM)Balance of paymentsDebts, PublicBanks and bankingDebts, ExternalFiscal policyRevenue330.95695DcWaIMFBOOK9910820315003321Jordan684639UNINA
