King Attends Launch of 2026-2029 Government Executive Programme

His Majesty King Abdullah II, accompanied by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II, attended the launch of the government’s 2026-2029 Executive Programme at the Prime Ministry on Monday.

In remarks during the launch, Prime Minister Jafar Hassan said His Majesty’s presence puts the government before its responsibilities to implement the programme in a way that positively impacts citizens.

The prime minister said the Economic Modernisation Vision’s goal for the executive programme includes 392 projects, which will be financed in partnership with the private sector, noting that investments in the programme are valued at approximately JD10 billion for the implementation period.

Hassan noted that tenders for some of these investments will begin to be floated and implemented this year, particularly in the energy, water, transport, and infrastructure sectors.

The prime minister also highlighted that the government will make significant investments through capital expenditure in the health and education sectors.

With regard to modernising the public sector, Prime Minister Hassan emphasised that economic programmes cannot succeed without an efficient and effective public administration.

On social protection, the prime minister noted that implementation of the National Social Protection Strategy, launched several months ago, is a key priority for the government.

In this context, the prime minister announced that the King instructed the government to increase the allocation for the Student Support Fund by JD5 million, bringing the total allocation for the fund this year to JD40 million.

A number of ministers discussed the features of the executive programmes for the Economic Modernisation Vision and the roadmap for public sector modernisation.

Royal Hashemite Court Chief Yousef Issawi, Director of the Office of His Majesty Alaa Batayneh, and a number of officials attended the launch.
