It considers three sectors—tourism, logistics, and information and communication technology (ICT)—and the potential they offer for greater private sector contributions to the Jordanian economy, as well asthe obstacles that they face from general or sector-specific policies and regulations. The CPSD also offers concrete recommendations to address some of these constraints.  \nAlthough this report was largely prepared prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, its analysis and recommendations remain as, if not more, valid in the context of the pandemic and of an eventual recovery. A dynamic and resilient private sector is necessary if Jordan is to break the low-growth, high-unemployment trajectory it finds itself in today. The CPSD argues that tackling some of the major obstacles facing the private sector—ensuring a stable and predictable policy environment, a level playing field in terms of competition, and labor regulations that allow employees and firms to respond more flexibly to changing market needs—is essential to firm performance, investment, and productivity. These actions are as critical—and more urgent—in times of crisis and especially afterwards to pave the way for a vigorous and sustainable recovery. Similarly, the sectors assessed by the CPSD—ICT, logistics, and tourism—continue to hold promise for the country. The pandemic has underscored the important role that digitalization, a strong ICT infrastructure, and supportive services have in creating a resilient economy and business continuity. E-commerce and logistics capabilities and services are an area put forward by the CPSD as an opportunity for Jordan in the coming years; they have boomed during the current crisis and are expected to be one of the post-pandemic growth sectors. Conversely, Tourism, which had been experiencing ","cbCaia5zzn55uETZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia5zzn55uETZ","pdf",1745876,5,1,18,"English","en",105,"# Executive Summary\n## Purpose and scope of the
