Jordan Daily – Jordan’s economy holds strong potential to achieve higher growth rates, driven by political stability and favorable regional positioning, according to Jordanian Businessmen Association Director General Tariq Hijazi.
He said in press remarks seen by Jordan Daily, Jordan’s stability makes it an attractive hub for foreign investment, supported by a network of free trade agreements with major global economic blocs secured through recent diplomatic efforts.
Hijazi highlighted several advantages that could fuel inclusive growth, including a skilled labor force and vast renewable energy resources in solar and wind. These factors, he said, are integral to the country’s Economic Modernisation Vision, which outlines projects aimed at boosting long-term growth.
Key opportunities lie in infrastructure investment, particularly in transportation and energy, with projects such as the national water carrier and railway lines progressing positively, Hijazi noted. He added that transforming Jordan into a regional logistics hub linking Asia, Europe and Africa could further strengthen trade, especially with free trade deals opening access to African and Asian markets.
Sectors with strong export potential include pharmaceuticals, information technology and agriculture, while high-value industries such as biotechnology, fintech, artificial intelligence, medical and educational tourism also offer promising investment opportunities.
Hijazi stressed the importance of attracting new capital and supporting existing investments through international partnerships, particularly with the European Union and Gulf states, to achieve the growth targets set out in Jordan’s modernization strategy.
