On 24 June, the EU approved Macro-Financial Assistance (MFA) of EUR 100 and EUR 150 million to Jordan and Tunisia respectively. For Jordan, this is the second and final tranche of the second MFA programme that was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council on 14 December 2016. In total, the programme is worth EUR 200 million. With today's disbursement, the EU has now provided Jordan with EUR 380 million in MFA funds since 2013. The current MFA programme has helped Jordan to cover its financing needs and supported the implementation of its structural reform agenda. For Tunisia, this is the second of three planned disbursements under the second MFA programme that was adopted by the European Parliament and the Council on 6 July 2016. In total, the second programme is worth EUR 500 million. With today's disbursement, the EU has now provided Tunisia with EUR 650 million in MFA funds since 2015. Macro-Financial Assistance is part of the EU's wider engagement with neighbouring countries and is intended as an exceptional EU crisis response instrument.
