The Economic Forum for Financial, Industrial, and Commercial Partnerships between Jordan, Iraq, and the region was officially launched by Jordanian Minister of Investment Kholoud Al-Saqqaf on Sunday. This two-day event is being held at the King Hussein Convention Center in the Dead Sea region and is considered the largest regional Jordanian-Iraqi economic gathering for business.
During the opening ceremony, Al-Saqqaf emphasized the importance of building economic interconnection, strengthening cooperation in various sectors, and creating sustainable partnerships to enhance regional integration. She also spoke about the new investment environment law in Jordan, highlighting its provisions for equality between foreign and local investors in terms of rights and duties, legislative stability, and the preservation of investors’ acquired rights. The law includes incentives such as customs exemptions, tax discounts, and incentives for activities that target export markets, high-value-added activities, knowledge transfer, and the employment of Jordanian workers. Additionally, the law allows for the establishment of investment funds to attract investment capital from institutions.
The forum sessions will focus on highlighting investment opportunities in Jordan and Iraq, exploring commercial and industrial prospects in both countries
