Abstract
Jordan is classified by the World Bank as an upper-middle-income country. However, it has few natural resources (aside from potash and phosphate) and suffers from a shortage of water, fertile land and oil.
This is an edited and updated version of the economic profile of this country that appears on The Statesman’s Yearbook Online: http://www.statesmansyearbook.com/
