Inflation remained subdued in 2021, but has picked up in recent months. Growth is expected to strengthen to 2.4 percent in 2022, but is being marked down by 0.3 ppts. from the third review, reflecting global economic headwinds, including tighter financial conditions and spillovers from the war in Ukraine. Although Jordan's wheat reserves provide assurance on near-term food security, persistently high food and fuel prices pose a major near-term policy challenge, especially given high unemployment (23 percent) and limited fiscal space. The current account deficit is projected to widen to 6.7 percent of GDP in 2022, as a larger fuel import bill dominates strong tourism receipts and robust exports.
