Jordan’s impressive economic growth over the past few years has cemented its role as regional hub for investment and entrepreneurship.
In the period from 1999 to 2002, Jordan signed three major bilateral and multilateral trade Agreements that had far reaching economic impact: the Euro-Jordanian Association Agreement with the European Union, the World Trade Organization Agreement; and the Jordan-US Free Trade Agreement .
As a direct result of these agreements, Jordan amended and adopted progressive economy related laws in areas such as trade and customs; intellectual property; antitrust; investment; securities; banking; and insurance. The adoption of these laws, and the signing of these free trade agreements, have sent powerful signals to potential investors that Jordan is open for business, offering unprecedented access to regional and international markets.
Moreover, Jordan offers unique investment opportunities in the newly established free zones, including the Aqaba Special Economic Zone, Qualifying Industrial Zones, as well as the Jordan-Iraq Free Zone and the Zarqa Free Zone, as well as Development Zones.
