Representative of
the clothing, fabric, and jewelry sector at the Jordan Chamber of Commerce
Asaad Al-Qawasmi said that the sector has begun preparations for the season,
which will be free of COVID-19 restrictions for the first time in two years.
Qawasmi believes
that “there is strong demand in the markets, and while it cannot be said that
the market has fully recovered, there is a partial recovery.”
Qawasmi pointed
out that most of the purchasing activity is in large stores, and “we hope that
it will later be felt by smaller outlets in the coming period conceding with
the payment of salaries and the postponement of loans for the current month of
April.”
He said that in
general “prices are stable and that favors consumers” and that most imported
clothing goods come from China, Turkey, East Asian countries, Europe, and
Egypt.
He pointed out
that the decision to reduce customs duties and maintain related custom
estimation lists until the end of
Ramadan contributed to stabilizing clothing
prices and allowing healthy competition.
