		Jordan relies on external budgetary support, in the form of politically sensitive grants, to reduce the overall central government fiscal deficit to a manageable level — 3.4 per cent of GDP in 2000 and less than 3.0 per cent in 2001.
		Jordan's policymakers have chosen to pursue an economic reform programme that should rapidly liberalise the country's economy, and have committed themselves to reducing the fiscal deficit and maintaining macroeconomic balance.
		Jordan's stock of government debt, at about 131 per cent of GDP in 2000, is higher than that of all other `BB-' rated countries, and both the `BB' and `B' medians of 49 per cent and 80 per cent, respectively, in 2000.

	Jordan - The Economy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		JORDAN, A SMALL NATION with a small population and sparse natural resources, has long been known by its Arab neighbors as their "poor cousin." In the late 1980s, Jordan was compelled to import not only many capital and consumer goods but also such vital commodities as fuel and food.
		Jordan's status as the world's third largest producer of phosphates ensured a steady--if relatively modest--flow of export income that offset some of its high import bills.
		Jordan also capitalized on its strategic geographic location, its educated work force, and its free enterprise economy to become a regional entrepôt and transit point for exports and imports between Western Europe and the Middle East.
