Extractions: Country Info Jordan Introduction Jordan General Data Jordan Maps Jordan Culture ... Jordan Time and Date Jordan Economy Back to Top poor in natural resources, and largely too arid for agriculture, Jordan is not economically self-supporting and must depend heavily on foreign aid, primarily from petroleum-rich Arab countries. Further burdens were placed on the economy after the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank, which contained nearly half of Jordans agricultural land, and by the subsequent influx of unemployed refugees. In the late 1980s Jordans economy became increasingly dependent on the overland transport of goods from the port of Al Aqabah to Iraq and on remittances from Jordanian workers employed in the Persian Gulf states. Both these sources of revenue were jeopardized by Iraqs invasion of Kuwait in August 1990; the Persian Gulf War of 1991 dealt a serious blow to the Jordanian economy. In 1998 Jordans budget revenues were $2 billion and its expenditures were $2.6 billion. The Jordanian economy was resilient and growing before the 1967 war. The West Bank, prior to its occupation by Israel during the war, contributed about one-third of Jordan's total domestic income. Economic growth continued after 1967 at a slower pace but was revitalized by a series of state economic plans. Trade increased between Jordan and Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War (198090), because Iraq gained access to Jordan's port of Al-'Aqabah. Jordan initially supported Iraqi president Saddam Hussein when Iraq occupied Kuwait during the 199091 Persian Gulf War, but it eventually agreed to the United Nations' trade sanctions against Iraq, its principal trading partner, and thereby put its whole economy in jeopardy. External emergency aid helped Jordan weather the crisis, and the economy was boosted by the sudden influx of 200,000300,000 Palestinians expelled by Kuwait in 1991, many of whom brought in capital.

The international monitoring group cited the killing of eleven women thus far in 1999 in the name of "family honor" in Jordan and criticized Jordan's government for policies that minimize the gravity of such crimesand allow the perpetrators to go free.

Extractions: Web posted at: 2:25 p.m. EDT (1825 GMT) KARAK, Jordan (CNN) A coalition of 11 Jordanian opposition parties, outraged over a dramatic increase in bread prices, demanded the removal of the government Sunday. "We blame the government for what happened," the parties said in a statement, referring to riots over the price increases in the last few days. "We demand the dismissal of the government, whose presence and decisions are antagonizing citizens." The parties added their followers would never bow to King Hussein's "iron-fist" approach to end the violent demonstrations, the worst since the riots of 1989 that led to a change of prime minister and the start of democratic reforms. Hussein told CNN Sunday that parties supported by Iraq were behind the riots. The army, meanwhile, arrested 120 people and imposed a curfew on riot-stricken Karak, a medieval fortress city in southern Jordan. The anger against the government comes against a backdrop of widespread poverty, a stagnant economy and a growing gap between rich and poor. "The bread was the straw that broke the camel's back, but the whole situation has become unbearable," a prominent Islamic politician said.

Extractions: Jordan is a constitutional monarchy based on the constitution promulgated on January 8, 1952. Executive authority is vested in the king and his council of ministers. The king signs and executes all laws. His veto power may be overridden by a two-thirds vote of both houses of the National Assembly. He appoints and may dismiss all judges by decree, approves amendments to the constitution, declares war, and commands the armed forces. Cabinet decisions, court judgments, and the national currency are issued in his name. The king, who may dismiss other cabinet members at the prime minister's request, appoints the council of ministers, led by a prime minister. The cabinet is responsible to the Chamber of Deputies on matters of general policy and can be forced to resign by a two-thirds vote of 'no confidence' by that body. Legislative power rests in the bicameral National Assembly. In July 2001, King Abdullah approved a temporary election lawsubject to validation when Parliament next convenesthat raised the number of members in the Chamber of Deputies from 80 to 104. The Chamber, elected by universal suffrage to a 4-year term, is subject to dissolution by the king. The king appoints the 40-member Senate for an 8-year term. The constitution provides for three categories of courtscivil, religious, and special. Administratively, Jordan is divided into 12 governorates, each headed by a governor appointed by the king. They are the sole authorities for all government departments and development projects in their respective areas.
