For his part, MCCI President, Munir bin Saad, stressed the importance of Jordanian industry, which has “high experience, quality and competitiveness,” lauding the two countries’ “deep-rooted, historic” relations.

Saudi investments in Jordan amounted to about $13 billion by the end of 2022, according to official data.

Volume of Saudi investment in Jordan exceeded $10 billion in the transportation, infrastructure, energy, financial and commercial, and tourism construction sectors, which added value to the national economy by creating job opportunities for Jordanians, the figures showed.
