World Bank sees Jordan's economy growing by 6 per cent in 2007

Head of visiting World Bank team, Saadeh al-Shami,
on Monday praised the performance of the Jordanian economy over the
past couple of years and expected the country's Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) to grow by 6 per cent in 2007, according to DPA.
Al-Shami made the remarks after a meeting with Prime Minister
Marouf Bakhit, during which he presented him with the WB's appraisal
of the Jordanian economy for the years 2006 and 2007.
Jordan's inflation rate almost doubled to 6.5 per cent over the
past two years mainly due to three successive hikes of fuel prices.
