Amman, May 23 (Petra) – Minister of Investment Tariq Abu Ghazaleh
said Jordan’s investment sector continued to record positive
indicators during the first quarter of 2026 despite ongoing regional
challenges, reflecting sustained confidence in the national economy
and the Kingdom’s investment environment.

Abu Ghazaleh added that Jordan achieved “strong” investment
performance last year, with foreign direct investment inflows
increasing by 25 per cent.

He added that the positive momentum continued in the first quarter of
2026, with 92 projects benefiting from investment exemptions,
representing a total investment volume of JD106 million.

During the same period, the Ministry of Investment issued 313 new
investor cards.

The minister said these indicators underscore the continued
attractiveness of Jordan’s investment climate and reflect the
government’s efforts to improve the business environment and
strengthen the Kingdom’s competitiveness as a regional investment
destination capable of supporting economic growth and creating job
opportunities.
