Jordan Daily – The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has announced the transformation of its Amman office into a regional center encompassing the Middle East, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. The move is aimed at reinforcing Jordan’s strategic position within the region.
The IFC’s expansion seeks to promote public-private partnerships, particularly in sustainable infrastructure projects addressing climate change, water scarcity, financial inclusion, and fostering an advanced entrepreneurial environment in Jordan.
The announcement was jointly made by Mokhtar Dayoub, CEO of the International Finance Corporation, and Zeina Touqan, Jordan’s Minister of Planning and International Cooperation.
This milestone represents a significant commitment by the International Finance Corporation to support Jordan’s ambitious vision of economic modernization. Jordan aims to double its gross domestic product to $82 billion by 2033, attract investments worth $42 billion, and generate one million new job opportunities.
The newly established regional center covers 15 countries and will house the IFC Regional Director, as well as managers responsible for overseeing manufacturing sectors, infrastructure projects, public-private partnership initiatives, and financial institutions.
