The COVID-19 pandemic and its socioeconomic impacts in Jordan are rapidly evolving, with the impact being shaped not only by the effects of the virus's spread on the broader economy, but also by the nature of the government response—movement restrictions and other emergency measures—and Jordan's key development partners' support. It is critical to have a good understanding of who is impacted, how, and for how long in order to adopt suitable mitigation measures or to change existing emergency measures. The study's goal is to provide evidence for policy and programming objectives, as well as to aid in the development of appropriate strategies to mitigate the pandemic's effects in Jordan. The study assesses the impact of COVID-19 on unemployment, public debt and economic growth in Jordan. The study found that the Jordanian economy reported major challenges in terms of decreased growth, increased unemployment, and increased public debt Compared to previous years before the breakout of COVID-19.
