Amman, May 23 (Petra) – The executive program report for the Economic
Modernization Vision (2026-2029) revealed key achievements during the
first quarter of the year within the Jordan Invest Engine, with
foreign direct investment (FDI) net inflows reaching about JD1.43
billion in 2025.

The report showed that the satisfaction index with the investment
environment in Jordan was at 45.4 percent (cumulative). The Ministry
processed 7,568 transactions related to investment incentives and
facilities during 2025, and contacted 628 companies and investors in
2025.

According to the report, 4,203 investor cards (categories A, B, and
C) were issued to investors and family members in 2025. Additionally,
81 recommendations were submitted for granting citizenship/passports
through investment during 2025. 38 construction permits were issued
for new projects within development zones in 2025.

Among the most notable achievements in the investment engine was the
development of the Invest.Jo platform, a comprehensive national
digital platform showcasing investment opportunities and promoting
the Kingdom’s competitive advantages. This was accomplished through
providing updated investment content covering priority sectors and
strategic projects, which backed the attraction of local and foreign
capital.

Additionally, a revised draft of the Investment Environment
Regulation was submitted for cabinet approval with the aim of
developing the regulatory framework and investment procedures,
streamlining the investor journey, and aligning with the objectives
of the economic modernization vision and enhancing the Kingdom’s
competitiveness.

Furthermore, the terms of reference were prepared for conducting
legal and regulatory studies to establish a national strategic
investment fund and solicit proposals.

The initial draft of the instructions for issuing compliance licenses
was also prepared in accordance with the approved regulatory
frameworks. Additionally, investment packages were developed for
several investment projects and public-private partnership projects
eligible for financing, including the toll road, Amman Bridge, and
water loss reduction in South Amman.

According to the report, the initial prequalification call was
announced for several investment opportunities, including the Amman
Bridge project, the water loss project, and the Bus Rapid Transit
(BRT) fare collection project. Additionally, 100 investment
opportunities were developed across various priority economic
sectors, distributed throughout the Kingdom’s governorates.

The initial draft of the feasibility study for the development of the
Jaber border crossing and the logistics zone in the King Hussein Bin
Talal Development Zone in Mafraq was prepared. The Higher Committee
for Partnership Projects also approved the feasibility study for the
South Amman water loss project.

The report further states that an integrated framework for managing
investor complaints and grievances was developed. It includes
standardized procedures, enhanced governance, performance indicators,
and service level agreements, all of which contribute to improved
response times, greater transparency, and an enhanced investor
experience.

Furthermore, a matrix of reforms related to improving the investment
environment, specifically the Business Readiness Report and the
Foreign Direct Investment Constraints Index, was prepared and
developed.

A tender was issued for a feasibility study to establish a green
industrial development zone, contributing to the move towards
sustainable industries.

Additionally, four new projects were registered in the National
Register of Government Investment Projects, including the Amman
Bridge, the Jaber border crossing development and the logistics zone
in the King Hussein Bin Talal Development Zone in Mafraq, a
hydroelectric energy storage project near the Wadi Mujib Dam, and an
electronic drug tracking system.
