Jordan Daily - Minister of Investment, Tareq Abu Ghazaleh, said development zones across the kingdom have recorded tangible progress in attracting new investments and expanding existing projects in recent months.
Speaking at a meeting on Sunday with developers of development and free zones for the first quarter of 2026, Abu Ghazaleh attributed the gains to sustained government efforts and effective public-private partnerships, which have enhanced the investment climate and operational efficiency.
Official data showed growth in the number of projects and utilized space, with some zones nearly doubling in size, alongside improvements in infrastructure, services, and streamlined procedures for investors.
The minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to advancing development and free zones as a national priority to boost economic activity, create jobs, and support regional development in line with the country’s economic modernization vision.
He also announced the launch of a new digital platform linking the ministry with development zones to improve governance, data collection, and coordination.
