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. 410 0$aIMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;$vNo. 2014/152 606 $aInvestments$xGovernment policy$zJordan 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$xGovernment policy$zJordan 606 $aInvestments, Foreign$zJordan 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aExports and Imports$2imf 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aDebt$2imf 606 $aDebt Management$2imf 606 $aSovereign Debt$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aCurrent Account Adjustment$2imf 606 $aShort-term Capital Movements$2imf 606 $aInternational Lending and Debt Problems$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aInternational economics$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aFinancial services law & regulation$2imf 606 $aPublic debt$2imf 606 $aGovernment debt management$2imf 606 $aCurrent account$2imf 606 $aExternal debt$2imf 606 $aRevenue administration$2imf 606 $aPublic financial management (PFM)$2imf 606 $aBalance of payments$2imf 606 $aDebts, Public$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 606 $aDebts, External$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aRevenue$2imf 607 $aJordan$xEconomic conditions 607 $aJordan$xEconomic policy 607 $aJordan$2imf 615 0$aInvestments$xGovernment policy 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign$xGovernment policy 615 0$aInvestments, Foreign 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aExports and Imports 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aDebt 615 7$aDebt Management 615 7$aSovereign Debt 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aCurrent Account Adjustment 615 7$aShort-term Capital Movements 615 7$aInternational Lending and Debt Problems 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aInternational economics 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aFinancial services law & regulation 615 7$aPublic debt 615 7$aGovernment debt management 615 7$aCurrent account 615 7$aExternal debt 615 7$aRevenue administration 615 7$aPublic financial management (PFM) 615 7$aBalance of payments 615 7$aDebts, Public 615 7$aBanks and banking 615 7$aDebts, External 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aRevenue 676 $a330.95695 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791146903321 996 $aJordan$9684639 997 $aUNINA
