On the economy, Hassan described it as the government’s top priority due to its link with unemployment and poverty. “We cannot succeed economically without strong, supported, and active private sector participation alongside local and foreign investments,” he stated.

He added that economic workshops held at the Royal Hashemite Court aim to integrate updates into the Economic Modernization Vision, enabling sectors to adapt to global developments and recover missed opportunities.

Hassan announced that intensive workshops will soon be held at the Prime Ministry with stakeholders across sectors to develop the government’s three-year executive program under the Economic Modernization Vision. This, he said, would form the government’s and each ministry’s working plan, which would also be shared with Parliament for oversight.

Turning to public sector reform, Hassan said the focus must remain on productivity and service quality. “Every public servant, regardless of rank, must serve the country and its people by providing solutions and easing procedures,” he said.

He revealed plans to meet with ministry secretaries-general ahead of launching the economic modernization implementation workshop, underlining their pivotal role in execution, alongside activating middle-management leadership. Merit and accountability, he said, would be guiding principles.

On health and education, Hassan pledged major improvements in infrastructure, human resources, and service quality. He cited a direct insurance agreement with King Hussein Cancer Center now covering 4.1 million citizens, describing it as a critical step toward expanding universal healthcare.

He noted that 100 schools had been earmarked for urgent upgrades, in addition to others already targeted by the Ministry of Education. Having personally visited many of them, he confirmed that funding had been secured for rehabilitation efforts.

The Prime Minister thanked the private sector for its contributions to education and health infrastructure under its corporate social responsibility commitments, adding that donor support remains steady. “Our priority now is execution,” he stressed.

He emphasized student-centric learning and the importance of curriculum development and teacher training. The government, he said, has already taken several decisions to support educators and will continue expanding these efforts.
