Amman, May 23 (Petra) – Minister of Investment Tariq Abu Ghazaleh

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,

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.
