EU-Jordan: Commission proposes further €200 million in Macro-Financial Assistance

On 29 June 2016, the European Commission proposed additional Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) to Jordan of up to €200 million in medium-term loans at favourable financing conditions.

This assistance was part of a wider effort by the EU and other international donors, agreed at the London conference “Supporting Syria and the region” in February 2016, to help Jordan and other countries in the region mitigate the economic and social impact stemming from the regional conflicts and the presence of a large number of Syrian refugees in the country.
