    Georgia

    The governing Georgian Dream party (GD) continues to control all branches of the state. Although the UNM-led opposition put pressure on the GD government, it won a third term in allegedly fraudulent parliamentary elections on October 31, 2020. The opposition refused to take up their seats in the new parliament, which led to a political deadlock. The crisis peaked when Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia resigned in February 2021 over his personal refusal to arrest UNM opposition leader Nikanor Melia.

    Jordan

    The Government of Jordan, the World Bank
    Group (WBG), and the international community are working
    towards a paradigm shift in their collective response to the
    refugee crisis - a holistic approach which stresses the
    continuum between the humanitarian response and the
    country’s development agenda. In parallel, Jordan’s implicit
    social contract by which the state provided citizens with
    jobs and heavily subsidized public services is evolving.

    Western Asia, Northern Africa

    The Arab Spring in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has brought to the forefront key challenges: the need to create job opportunities, equal access, a level playing field, transparency and accountability, and a fair and competitive environment. Crony capitalism, the privileged access of certain elites to favorable legal and regulatory treatment, access to markets, and the coincidence of political and economic power, was a major concern contributing to the uprising.

    of higher oil prices. Rapid job growth has followed, driven
    mainly by the private sector. Yet the region still faces two
    important challenges: the first is to create better jobs for

    This Investment Climate Assessment (ICA)
    seeks to evaluate the conditions under which the Palestinian
    private sector currently operates in the West Bank

    assessment undertaken by the World Bank in 2006. As such, it
    provides both a snapshot of the investment climate in 2013,
    as well as a longitudinal view of what has changed in the
