Project Description:

Local Currency and Capital Markets Development (LC2) is one of the key strategic initiatives of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the “EBRD” or the “Bank”). The strategic objectives agreed for the Initiative are to achieve more efficient and self-sustaining financial intermediation in the Bank’s Countries of Operations (CoO) through broader use of local currency and the development of local capital markets, thereby contributing to economic progress and fostering a more stable financial environment. Technical cooperation is one of the most important mechanisms used to achieve the desired transition impact.

Subsequent to the G-8 Finance Ministers" Meeting in Marseille in September 2011, the International Financial Institutions (IFIs) concerned jointly agreed on eight focus areas of activity under the Deauville Partnership to support countries in the Arab world engaged in transitions toward “free, democratic and tolerant societies”. The EBRD and the Arab Monetary Fund were tasked with leading the module on the development of capital markets in Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Tunisia. It was agreed that they will provide technical assistance support in a coordinated manner according to each institution’s mandate and expertise to help these countries deepen local capital market development.

Within this context the Jordanian Securities Commission (JSC) approached EBRD, requesting the Bank’s support in providing technical assistance and expertise to assist the JSC in preparing a 5-year implementation roadmap (the “Roadmap”) with a view to further reform Jordan capital markets. The Roadmap was presented to and discussed with local stakeholders in December 2016 at a seminar in Amman under the Patronage of H.E the Prime Minister of Jordan.

JSC approved the Roadmap in January 2017 (The Capital Market Development Strategy and Roadmap for Jordan is available www.lc2-reports.com/JordanCM-Roadmap.pdf ) and sent a further request to EBRD through the Ministry of International Cooperation (MOIC), for continued support in the phased implementation of the Roadmap. Showing Jordan’s commitment to the project, HE the Prime Minister ordered the creation of a Capital Market Working Group (“CMWG”) in April 2017, a high level committee that will steer the implementation of the Roadmap across different stakeholders in the coming years, as recommended in the Roadmap. The CMWG brings together the following stakeholders: Jordan Securities Commission, Amman Stock Exchange, Securities Depository Center, Companies Control Department, Financial services companies Association, Central Bank of Jordan, Social Security investment Fund and Income, and Sales Tax Department.

EBRD now intends to support the Jordanian authorities with the implementation of the Roadmap assisting the CMWG and EBRD in carrying out the reforms and projects outlined in the Roadmap (the “Project”).

The first step will consist in establishing the Project Secretariat, a team combining specialists hired outside, and staff seconded from the JSC or other institutions. With a view to facilitate knowledge transfer and sustainability, the Secretariat will be led by a senior international Project Manager in charge of the day-to-day management of the Secretariat.

Assignment Description:

The Bank would like to engage a consultant (the Consultant) to act as the Project Manager and provide the following services:

(a) Establish the Secretariat as a unit that will administer the implementation of the Roadmap (i) using the resources JSC will be contributing in terms of staff, office space, office equipment and communications, and (ii) hiring outside specialists as needed by the work streams and as agreed with JSE and EBRD Operation Leader (OL);

(b) Establish the quarterly and yearly work plan in cooperation with the local Project Director, the CMWG and EBRD; agree the route, milestones and outputs, timeline and budget of implementation projects with the OL and keep them in line with the objectives of the Roadmap;

(h) Ensure optimal management of resources (i) provided by JSC, (ii) hired within the Secretariat or (iii) recruited as consultants in the frame of the Project, and their utilisation in that context;

(i) Organise regular meetings with EBRD to discuss progress on the Project;

(j) Propose changes or improvements to the operations or activities of the Project to make them more effective;

(l) Any other task that contributes to the good implementation of the Project, including being available for events related to the Project;

(m) Prepare a final report presenting the output and outcome of the Project (the “Final Report”).

At the beginning of the Project, the Project Manager is expected to be on site for the first 3 months, followed by regular on-site visits as needed, at least quarterly and phased with the Project milestones.
