The Central Bank of Jordan instructs all commercial banks operating in the Kingdom to prioritize and execute requests from the Ministry of Finance regarding the attachment of taxpayers' balances held at those banks. This directive is issued in response to the banks' lack of cooperation with previous communications from the Ministry's Directorate of Legal Affairs and Public Funds, aiming to protect the rights of the Public Treasury.
