Amman, July 13 (Petra) – Finance Minister Abdul Hakim Shibli launched
on Monday a €1.6 million (nearly JD1.3 million) EU-funded twinning
project to strengthen Jordan’s land management framework and drive
sustainable economic growth.

The initiative pairs Jordanian priorities with public sector
expertise from Croatia, the Netherlands, and Spain to improve public
services, and secure property transactions to spur investment and
entrepreneurship, according to Shibli.

He added that better land-use planning would support housing,
agriculture, and food security while helping the Kingdom address
climate change and environmental challenges.

The project reinforces the strong Jordan-EU partnership, Shibli said,
adding that it advances joint efforts to modernize public
administration and boost government efficiency.

The launch event was attended by EU Ambassador Pierre-Christophe
Chatzisavas, diplomats, and international officials.
