Jordan plans to issue tenders for almost $10 billion in national projects before the end of 2026, the country’s prime minister has said.

The government is working to finalise agreements and secure financial closure for key projects between 2028 and 2030, the state-run Jordan News Agency (Petra) reported, quoting Jaafar Hassan.

The government has allocated JOD1.6 billion ($2.3 billion) for projects and capital expenditures in 2026 to drive economic growth and fund strategic initiatives.

Key projects include the National Water Carrier, Aqaba-Shidiyah/Maan-Ghor Al-Safi Railway, Al-Risha Gas Pipeline and Amra City.

The prime minister said that the government has doubled capital expenditure on the National Water Carrier project to JOD250 million over the next four years and allocated JOD100 million for the Al-Risha Gas project over the next three years.

Hassan said the second phase of the economic modernisation vision for 2026-2029, covering 24 sectors, will be launched in the coming weeks.

Some of the vision objectives include increasing per capita income by an average of 3 percent per year, creating jobs for more than 1 million youth and ranking one Jordanian city among the top 100 cities in the world.

This month the finance ministry said Jordan’s debt reached its highest-ever level at the end of September as the kingdom continued to borrow to finance its budget deficit.

Foreign debt rose to JOD19.9 billion from JOD19.3 billion, accounting for 54 percent of the country’s liabilities at the end of September.

Budget deficit stood at around JOD1.8 billion in the first nine months of this year against a shortfall of JOD2.8 billion in 2024, the ministry’s report showed.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
