Jordan Daily - Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Jordan rose 25.1% in 2025 to about $2.025 billion, the highest level since 2017, Minister Investment Tareq Abu Ghazaleh said, despite regional tensions.
Abu Ghazaleh told Al Jazeera Net that the government was shifting from broad-based investment incentives to targeted measures tailored to the needs and competitive advantages of individual governorates.
He said changes to the rules governing citizenship and residency through investment were aimed at attracting long-term capital and linking investment more closely to employment, production and development.
During the first half of 2026, 327 new, expansion or development projects benefited from investment incentives and exemptions, with expected investments of JOD 711.2 million, about $1 billion, the minister said.
Investment in new projects registered in Jordan's development zones also increased sharply, rising over a one-year period from 60 million dinars ($84.6 million) to JOD 402 million ($567 million), Abu Ghazaleh noted.
