Jordan Daily – Dr. Nedal Malo Alein, a political , economic activist and a vocal advocate of the revitalization of Jordanian economy through large-scale domestic investments , underscored the urgency of Jordan acting quickly to strengthen its economic foundations. “Countries around us have already started investing in their own futures, becoming magnets for international investment,” Malo Alein said. “We can’t sit on the sidelines any longer—we need to start building now.”
The effort will focus on leveraging the country’s internal resources to launch major projects aimed at generating long-term revenue. Alein noted in a podcast that the government must take a more hands-on role, expanding its investment arm’s authority to oversee these initiatives. He pointed to the legacy of earlier generations who helped establish Jordan’s critical industries—oil, electricity, and education—as an example of the forward-thinking approach the country needs today.
“We have to remember those who built the backbone of Jordan’s infrastructure,” Malo Alein said. “We owe it to them, and to the next generation, to continue that work and modernize the country for the challenges of the next century.”
A key component of the initiative is fostering youth participation. Malo Alein believes the country’s young people hold the key to innovation and should be central to the development of future projects. These investments, he argued, should be based on concrete plans, not theoretical drawings, to ensure the projects deliver tangible economic returns.
