With few natural resources (lack of oil, water scarcity), Jordan is one of the most committed countries to financial reforms within its region (privatization, tax reforms, opening of the banking sector, etc.). In 2018, the government aims to widen its tax base, especially by raising VAT, customs duties and corporation tax on companies in the banking, mining and telecommunications sectors, because tax revenues account for only 15.4% of GDP. The three main natural resources of the country are phosphates, potash and lime. Growth will remain moderate in 2018 because of instability in the region and the fallout from the Syrian crisis, and it is expected to reach an average of 2.6% according to the World Bank. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the largest exporters to the Kingdom of Jordan with a share of 13.5% of the total Jordanian imports. The total Saudi non-oil exports to Jordan in 2017 amounted to SAR 4.1 billion without a rise from last year. While the total Jordanian exports to Saudi Arabia decreased in 2017 compared to 2016 by about SAR 700 million.
