Minister of Finance Abdul Hakim Al-Shibli announced on Monday that total expenditures in the 2027 budget are projected to reach approximately JD 13.753 billion, including JD 12.025 billion in current expenditures and JD 1.71 billion in capital expenditures. Speaking to Al-Mamlaka, Al-Shibli affirmed that the 2027 budget will not include any tax increases, emphasizing that its underlying assumptions make no provision for hikes in either income or sales taxes. He added that the budget incorporates developments approved on Sunday and was submitted to the House of Representatives on Monday. This will allow for its approval within the constitutional timeframe and enable capital project spending to begin early. (ICE AMMAN)
