Therefore, the first economic message came in the form of redirecting the concept of development toward the citizen. His Majesty emphasized that "the interest of the Jordanian must be at the heart of every decision, not on its margins." This direction carries an important economic implication, which is that the success of economic policies should not be measured only by GDP growth rates, but by the extent to which this growth is reflected in real incomes, job opportunities, production, and living standards. Growth that does not generate sufficient economic opportunities and is not reflected in citizens' well-being remains limited in impact from the perspective of comprehensive development.
The second message relates to major projects, as His Majesty called on the government to accelerate the completion of strategic projects aimed at supporting the national economy and enhancing its resilience. This call opens the door to a fundamental economic question: How do we ensure these projects become real engines of growth? The answer does not depend on the speed of implementation alone, but on the ability of these projects to expand the economy's productive capacity, generate local value added, create jobs, and stimulate related economic activities. Therefore, projects should be evaluated according to their economic and social returns, not just by the volume of spending or completion percentages. A successful strategic project is one that adds new productive capacity and leaves a sustainable impact on the national economy.
