The Ministry of Investment has announced a series of investment opportunities and partnership projects within the transportation, infrastructure, and logistics sectors through the “Invest in Jordan” platform (invest.jo).
The ministry has developed a comprehensive package of opportunities based on an investment map distributed across various governorates, covering all regions. This package includes descriptions of potential and executable projects, their competitive advantages, and aims to facilitate investors, companies, and stakeholders’ access to priority project information.
The platform aims to expand awareness among investors, companies, and stakeholders, making it easier to access unified project cards that outline the concept, scope of work, partnership models, and the economic and developmental prospects of each opportunity.
Among the available opportunities are investment projects that will be rolled out in phases, such as the Irbid Central Market project, which was recently launched, as well as future projects like the Rapid Bus Project (Phase II), the Suspended Bridge in Amman, and the High-Speed Train project linking the capital, Amman, with the city of Aqaba, along with several other transportation, infrastructure, and value-added projects.
Investment Minister, Tariq Abu Ghazaleh, told the Jordan News Agency (Petra) that the second phase of the economic modernization vision will mark a turning point in unleashing the national economy’s potential and achieving growth rates that will positively impact the welfare of citizens.
He added that the vision focuses on enhancing local investments and attracting foreign investments in priority sectors, aiming to distribute the benefits of development across the Kingdom’s regions and create more job opportunities for citizens.
He emphasized that the Ministry is working in line with the directives and guidance of His Majesty King Abdullah II and His Royal Highness Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah II, highlighting their continuous support and dedication to initiatives that benefit Jordan and Jordanians.
Abu Ghazaleh stated that the Ministry will ensure the sustainability of investments and work on nurturing and following up on them to enhance their competitiveness locally and facilitate their entry into global markets, guaranteeing a sustainable and attractive investment climate that strengthens both local and international confidence.
He further emphasized that the upcoming phase of investment will witness a significant leap, especially in updating and developing the business environment, including legislative and regulatory frameworks and simplifying procedures, asserting that automation is the ideal solution to enhance investment.
He also touched on the importance of incentives and benefits included in the modernization vision, which the government has approved, in creating an attractive and stimulating investment environment for foreign investments. These incentives and benefits are competitive with those offered by many countries worldwide.
Regarding the Ministry’s projects within the Executive Program (2026–2029), Abu Ghazaleh highlighted key initiatives, including activating the Investment Fund as a financing tool for national priority projects, strengthening public-private partnerships, automating comprehensive investment services through digital transformation and reengineering procedures, simplifying the investor’s journey, reducing time and costs, and providing post-investment services. The Ministry will also adopt periodic evaluation and monitoring mechanisms for developers in developmental zones using measurable performance indicators to transition from plans to outcomes. Additionally, the Ministry is working on developing ready investment packages for fundable projects to convert opportunities from ideas into executable projects and speed up investor decisions.
Abu Ghazaleh confirmed that investment in Jordan is witnessing notable growth, with increased foreign investment flows and improved economic indicators. This has been clearly reflected in the performance of the Amman Stock Exchange, a rise in investment volume, and a positive improvement in general economic indicators.
The Minister emphasized the importance of leveraging Jordan’s political and economic stability, which His Majesty the King has played a significant role in securing, alongside Jordan’s geographical location, in attracting foreign investment in many vital and promising sectors.
He also praised the role of the media in supporting official efforts to realize the economic modernization vision, affirming that the media is a key partner in efforts to boost the national economy, highlight Jordan’s positive image, and defend its national interests.
