4. be called the Arab Spring, particularly, the Syrian crisis, which
presented major economic, political and social challenges, the
effect of which are still present today. In the wake of these
unfortunate events, Jordan responded by introducing major
political and economic reforms supported by the wise
leadership of H.M. King Abdullah II.
Political reforms included the establishment of the
Constitutional Court and the Independent Commission for
Elections. Almost 1/3 of the Constitution was amended by
Parliament. Economic reform measures included the
withdrawal from generalized subsidies in the energy and water
sectors and the redirection of part of the savings to cash
transfers that better target the poor and the vulnerable.
Further fiscal measures were taken to consolidate Jordan’s
fiscal balance. In terms of other structural reforms, Jordan is
working on removing rigidities in the labor market and
enhancing the business environment and good governance as
well as access to finance.
Jordan’s Macro Outlook
4
Jordan’s main orientation is to create the right environment for
the private sector, domestic and international, to be the main
driving force in the economy. Accordingly, Public - Private
Partnerships acquire a special significance and the government
is active in promoting this mechanism.
In Jordan it is believed that non-economic factors such as the
rule of law, freedom of expression, and human rights, are
equally important in raising productivity. The government will
ensure continual efforts towards maintaining international
standards in these areas. Finally, on this point, the rate of
return on investment projects should be competitive compared
to the rates of return in other countries or other regions. The
monetary and fiscal policies are anchored in achieving the
levels of interest, inflation and real exchange rates consistent
with maintaining competitiveness.
The process of reform is not inherently popular and policy
choices had to be made. The strong political will and leadership
of H.M. King Abdullah II made those reforms possible,
facilitating negotiations of all measures with Parliament and
other sectors of Jordan’s civil society.
In summary, the reforms aim to maintain macroeconomic
stability while performing a major transformation in the role of
the public sector from providing privileges such as public
employment and subsidies to one of providing basic economic
services, social protection, better governance and competitive
environment for the private sector.
The unfolding of the global
financial crisis during 2008 had its
toll on many countries, Jordan
was no exception. Its real GDP
growth slipped 5 percentage
points to reach around 3% in
2009. In 2011, yet another major
exogenous shock hit Jordan’s
economy, namely; what came to
5. Jordan’s Macro Outlook
5
Jordan is transitioning from the costly generalized subsidies to
targeted forms of social protection. Those reforms are
beginning to show the desired results. The budget deficit
came down from around 10.3% of GDP in 2014 to an
expected 3.2% of GDP in 2017 and an expected 1.8% in 2018.
GDP real growth rate is expected to be 2.5% in 2018 and 3.0%
by 2022. Jordan’s stock of debt is around 95% of GDP and is
expected to decline to 93.5% by end of 2018 and to 77% of
GDP by 2022.
As the above numbers suggest, Jordan seems to be facing the
same dilemma that many countries are facing today, namely;
fiscal discipline or austerity budgets vs. economic growth. In
fact, this need not be the case. It may well be that the
opposite is true, namely; that the balance in public finances is
an essential ingredient of a competitive investment climate
and economic growth.
Furthermore, the modest capital spending government
budget need not be a constraint to economic growth as there
are other sources for economic growth. Raising productivity is
one obvious source of growth. Partnership between the
public sector and the private sector (Jordanian and
International) is another way to increase capital spending. The
government has prepared an economic stimulus package over
the period 2017-2022 which has around 14 capital spending
projects, half of which can be implemented in partnership
with Jordanian and international private sectors.
On the other hand, the Central Bank of Jordan injected
liquidity in the banking system, providing financing for
MSMEs amounting to US$250 million. The coming period
should witness an emphasis on raising the productivity of
human resources, continue with Jordan’s e-government
program, reform the public sector and ensure proper
governance, accountability, and the rule of law.
Forward looking, political stability, the rule of law, and
empowering all sectors of society has added resilience and
optimism to Jordan’s economy. Furthermore, the educated
national force in Jordan compliments the business friendly
environment and helps attract FDI flows. Most importantly,
wise and humane management, at the highest level of
governance is a blessing that Jordan enjoys.
Finally, Jordan has demonstrated that despite the difficulties
inherent in the reform process, and despite the extraordinary
burdens due to the Syrian crisis and other regional crisis,
reforms can and should be realized, in order to continue to
play its positive and moderating role in the region.

8. Towards the end of the 1940s, the idea of establishing Jordan
Ahli Bank presented itself to the late Yousef Muasher when
the migration of Palestinians to Jordan in 1948 put life into the
Jordanian market. With the support of the late Suleiman
Sukkar, the dream flourished and became a reality in 1955.
On April 4 1956, the Bank sent a circular to shareholders
informing them of the commencement of its operations on
April 14 1956. In 1958, the Bank opened a branch in Nablus
which was the second of a series of branches and the first in
the West Bank. It also raised its capital to JD 1 million.
The Bank continued to grow and established its first branch
outside Jordan in 1961 in Al-Hamra, Beirut, later renamed Al-
Ahli International Bank (AIBL). During H1 2014, Ahli Bank
completed the sale of its entire 98% stake in the Lebanese
subsidiary (AIBL). In 1971 the Bank continued its overseas
expansion perogram to the Gulf region by contributing 25% of
the share capital of Dubai Bank LTD,
In 1981, the Bank used a computer for the first time, leading
to fast-paced and automated operations. In 1985, the Bank
established its first presence outside the Arab world by
opening its offshore banking unit in Limassol/Cyprus.
Ahli Bank exercised the first merger of a financial institution in
Jordan by adding The Business Bank to its operations, in
addition to Philadelphia Investment Bank.

• Market Share growth in Jordan (Loans, Customer Deposits)
• Moderate increase of Loan-Loss Reserve coverage for Non-Performing Loans (NPLs)

Jordan Ahli Bank Rating
Credit Adequacy Ratio (CAR)
Liquidity
Performance Outlook
Rating Rational
• The bank's CAR declined to a just adequate level in 2016, mainly owing to the combination of significantly lower net profit together with
substantially higher dividend payout ratio.
• The implementation of Basel III in September 2016 together with accelerated growth in risk-weighted assets also negatively affected the
CAR
• CAR rebounded to a satisfactory level after the issuance of 25M JOD subordinated Bond in October 2017
• JAB’s liquidity position remains solid
• JAB continues to have a very sound liquid and net liquid asset ratios, mainly a reflection of very low usage of interbank funds, together
with large holdings of Jordanian government securities.
• The bank's operating profitability will continue to be pressured by a high cost structure and reduced NIM, the later due to declining
spreads on government securities as well as increasing funding costs.
• Management will continue to address the relatively high level of NPLs by write-offs and off-balance sheet transfers of NPLs, which will
reduce NPL ratio.
• Cautious lending policy is being maintained by the management as well as preserving capital policy.
• Development of retail lending is expected to improve loan granularity over time and concurrently diversify credit risk and revenue stream.
