Amman, Feb. 9 (Petra) – Minister of Finance, Abdul Hakim Shebli, said issuance of Financial Order No. (2) for the year 2025 to ministries, public departments and units aligns with the government’s policies aimed at following up on spending process, based on the “highest” standards of “transparency and oversight.”

In a press statement Sunday, Shebli noted disbursement of the various financial orders, in accordance with monthly remittances certified by Director General of General Budget Department (GBD), would enable these entities to identify spending priorities on the key target areas.

The minister noted this approach aligns with Economic Modernization Vision (EMV) and development of public services and will allow the Kingdom’s regulatory authorities to track their spending methods, in accordance with the priorities and restraints stated in the General Budget Law.

Shebli added that disbursement operations are made under a “strict” auditing process, in accordance with the regulations and instructions to avoid financial loss.

The process, he noted, also seeks to ensure spending is made to “smoothly” carry out the capital projects under budgets of ministries and state institutions and aligns with the government’s “clear” policy, aimed at reducing “unnecessary” expenditure and facilitating the follow-up process by the various regulatory authorities.

Under its agenda, he stated the government is “serious” about combating all forms of spending loss and controlling the process to ensure continued work, services and implementation of its projects.

The GBD and the regulatory authorities will follow up on the disbursement operations and methods and mechanisms of spending allocations for each entity, based on the “highest standards of transparency and clarity,” he pointed out.
