This decision is likely to be made in response to the US
Federal Reserve's recent announcement that it has raised interest rates for the
10th consecutive time, according to Al-Mamlaka TV.
Impact on the banking sectorAccording to Mahrouq, if the Central Bank in Jordan proceeds
with the decision to raise interest rates, it will have an impact on the
banking sector in the Kingdom.
The US Federal Reserve announced its decision to raise
interest rates for the 10th time in a row on Wednesday. However, the central
bank also suggested that it might soften its approach in the near future in
light of a possible economic downturn in the US.
Mahrouq inferred that the US Federal Reserve's decision was
made in response to continuing levels of inflation in the US economy.
