US embassy cable - 04AMMAN9112

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

AGREEMENTS: JORDAN 
 
REF: STATE 228304 
 
1.  Jordan does not have a government-operated export credit 
agency (ECA) similar to the Export-Import Bank.  The closest 
entity similar to an ECA would be the Export & Finance Bank, 
a public shareholding company based in Amman that is engaged 
in privately funded export credits.  A senior contact in the 
Jordanian Ministry of Industry and Trade did not believe that 
an EXIM bank type government ECA operation would be set up 
any time soon.  Post therefore did not take action requested 
in reftel. 
 
2.  Baghdad minimize considered.
