AB  - Problem statement: The purpose of this study was to explore the challenges that Jordanian
economy may have to face based on different scenarios in his macro-environment. Specifically, the
study focused on the development in the Palestinians and the Iraqi fronts and their impact on the
Jordanian economy. Approach: An exploratory research method was utilized. Results: The study
findings revealed that the majority of Jordanians believed that the level of conflicts at both fronts are
more likely to continue as is “no war-no peace”. Jordanians showed a tendency to be more optimistic than pessimistic about the reach for a final settlement for both conflicts. However, Jordanians showed more concern for the situation in Palestine than it is in Iraq. Conclusion/Recommendations: Were provided for Jordanian policy makers to deal with economic issues based on each scenario.
