Greetings,

Recognizing the social and developmental role of the microfinance sector and committed to enhancing the sector's performance and measuring its impact on the local economy, the Central Bank of Jordan has adopted a number of social performance indicators for the microfinance sector to be part of the Bank's regulatory tools for this sector. In this regard, a report has been prepared to collect data related to these indicators, along with an assessment tool and a specific guideline manual (a paper and electronic copy is attached).

To instruct the relevant parties at your institutions to fill in all the data included in the aforementioned report according to the timeframes specified in the guideline manual, and to provide us with this report electronically on an annual basis within a period not exceeding one month from the end of each year.

We reiterate in this context the importance of the completeness and accuracy of the data included in the report and the necessity to observe the guidelines contained in the aforementioned tool and manual.

Please accept our highest regards,

Governor Dr. Adel Al-Sharkas
