AMMAN, March 20 (Xinhua) -- Jordan's economy is expected to grow by 3.3 percent in 2013, the central bank said Wednesday.
The country's inflation will reach six percent this year, and begin to drop in 2014, the state-run Petra news agency quoted Ziad Fariz, the bank's governor, as saying. The rate was 4.4 percent in 2012.
Jordan is expected to receive this year 384 million U.S. dollars from the International Monetary Fund, as the second batch of a 2-billion-dollar loan from the global lender, the governor said.
