His Majesty King Abdullah on Thursday urged all to monitor and evaluate the progress of the economic programme and its packages, aimed at improving citizens’ living standards.

While participating in part of the fifth workshop held at Al Husseiniya Palace in continuation of an ongoing series of workshops on the economy launched last week, King Abdullah called for clear timeframes and key performance indicators for the economic programme’s measures, stressing the need for the public to sense their impact.

The government announced the first stimulus package under the programme on Sunday, and several other packages will follow, with the goal of reflecting positively on citizens’ living standards.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State Rajai Muasher participated in Thursday’s workshop, alongside several economic, political, parliamentary and media figures.
