In January 2020, the Union adopted a third macro-financial assistance programme (MFA-III) of EUR 500 million in the form of loans, in response to a request from Jordan in July 2019 and following the completion of the second macro-financial assistance programme of EUR 200 million in 2019. MFA-II came as a follow-up to MFA-I of EUR 180 million implemented in 2015. In May 2020, MFA-III was topped up by EUR 200 million pursuant to Decision (EU) 2020/701 of the European Parliament and of the Council in response to the socio-economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. The first instalment of MFA-III was released on 25 October 2020, the second instalment on 20 July 2021 and the third instalment on 3 May 2023, following the implementation of the agreed policy measures. The assistance was fully disbursed during 2020-2023.
