DUBAI: The Jordanian government has injected up to $705 million into the country’s private sector, which has suffered the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Minister of Finance Mohammad Ississ said the money will be used to increase liquidity among companies, state news agency Petra has reported.
Ississ, who was speaking at a press conference, also talked about cracking down on tax evaders in the country and how it would help the government protect capital.
