Amman, June 29 (Petra) — The Jordan Chamber of Industry on Monday
launched a new knowledge series titled “Industrialist’s Compass”
aimed at providing industrial companies with simplified and practical
analysis of key global economic, trade and regulatory developments.

The series seeks to outline the implications of economic changes on
Jordan’s industrial sector, enabling companies to make prepared and
flexible decisions in a rapidly changing business environment.

The chamber stated that the launch, through its Studies and Policies
Department, aligns with its role in supporting national industrial
competitiveness and providing specialized economic knowledge to
industrialists, particularly amid accelerating global shifts in
international trade, supply chains, environmental regulations,
geopolitical developments and technological transformation.

It said the series focuses on answering the key question for
manufacturers: “What does this mean for my factory, and what should I
do?” It provides practical recommendations and actionable steps to
help companies prepare for changes, seize opportunities and reduce
risks.

The first issue addresses the European Union Carbon Border Adjustment
Mechanism (CBAM), one of the most significant new trade-related
regulations affecting exporters to the European market or those
targeting it in the future. It explains the mechanism, covered
sectors and its potential implications for Jordanian industry.

The publication outlines practical guidance for early preparation,
including organizing energy and fuel consumption data linked to
production, identifying emission sources, engaging early with
European clients to understand requirements, and beginning carbon
emissions data collection and measurement.

It highlights the European Commission’s self-assessment tool to
evaluate exposure to CBAM requirements.

The chamber said “Industrial Compass” will be issued periodically and
will cover priority topics for Jordan’s industrial sector, including
global trade developments, energy and raw material prices, supply
chains, tariffs, international regulations, artificial intelligence
and sustainability.

It added that the series forms part of ongoing efforts to enhance
knowledge-based services for industrial firms and strengthen their
ability to adapt to global transformations, supporting export growth
and reinforcing the competitiveness of Jordanian industry in regional
and international markets.

The chamber urged industrial companies to follow the series and
benefit from its content as a practical tool to understand global
shifts and turn them into growth opportunities.
