King participates in 4th workshop on economic growth

AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah participated in part of the fourth economic workshop held at Al Husseiniya Palace on Monday, which comes within a series of extensive sessions that began last week to formulate a clear economic programme.

The King emphasised the important role of the private sector and the media in defining future stimulus packages to reflect positively on the living standards of citizens, according to a Royal Court statement.

In addition to the stimulus package announced on Sunday, several other packages will be released throughout next year, requiring partnership between the government and the private sector, the statement said.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State Rajai Muasher participated in the workshop, alongside several economic, political, parliamentary and media figures.
