Jordan's Investment Council convened its first meeting of 2025 on Sunday under Prime Minister Jafar Hassan's chairmanship to advance investment promotion strategies and streamline procedures for private sector engagement.
Prime Minister Hassan emphasized the critical importance of public-private partnerships in major strategic projects, highlighting infrastructure initiatives including the recently signed National Water Carrier project and railway development plans.
He also noted significant developments in the mining sector, referencing last week's Jordan Bromine expansion agreement.
Investment Minister Muthana Gharaibeh outlined the ministry's strategic priorities, announcing plans to reengineer comprehensive investment service procedures to enhance efficiency. He committed to maintaining council consultation on major projects before their launch.
"The council has fundamental responsibilities in creating an enabling environment for investors and the private sector to generate economic opportunities aligned with our Economic Modernization Vision," Hassan told the gathering at the Prime Minister's Office.
Council members, including economic team ministers, the Central Bank Governor, and private sector representatives, praised the government's commitment to sustained dialogue with business leaders. They emphasized the growing significance of public-private partnerships in advancing national development goals.
The meeting underscored the government's focus on accelerating investment flows and enhancing private sector participation in Jordan's strategic development initiatives for 2025.
