Regarding the restructuring of
the electricity tariff, Kharabsheh said: "It is not about raising the
prices of electricity or removing subsidies, but about a partial restructuring
to direct greater support to the productive industrial, commercial, tourism,
and agricultural sectors.”
He also said that a national
platform will be created for people with national numbers to apply for
subsidies.
"It is important for us to provide these
sectors with the necessary support so that they can continue to produce goods
and provide services, which will reflect positively on the growth of these
sectors, and thus reflect on the
GDP, in addition to contributing to providing
various job opportunities and increasing the sectors’ competitiveness," he
added.
