Jordan

This is an excerpt from the paper...

1. The Economic Environment: According to the CIA World Factbook online, Jordan is a small Arab country with inadequate supplies of water and low levels of natural resources such as oil and gas.

Jordan's consumer price inflation rate is a modest 3.2 percent
