According to the executive program, the first half of 2026 witnessed a suite of reforms implemented to strengthen the Kingdom's investment climate.
Key achievements included issuing the amended Investment Environment Regulation of 2026 to enhance the Kingdom's investment competitiveness and streamline regulatory procedures. This effort aims to support economic growth, stimulate investment, create job opportunities, raise the efficiency of investor services, and reinforce Jordan's position as an attractive regional and international investment destination.
Furthermore, post-care services for investors—including complaints and grievances—were activated through an integrated management framework built on standardized procedures and enhanced governance. Alongside these measures, an investment map featuring 100 opportunities across various sectors was developed, and a comprehensive upgrade was completed for the "Invest in Jordan" platform as a unified national portal to promote investment and provide pertinent information to investors.
During the first half of the year, the Ministry of Finance completed 3,801 transactions for incentives and facilities, issued 1,879 investor cards, and granted investment exemptions to 379 companies. These efforts foster a more efficient, competitive investment climate while enhancing Jordan's appeal to domestic and international capital. Additionally, the draft instructions for issuing compliance condition licenses were finalized in preparation for formal approval and publication in the Official Gazette, and the tender for conducting the technical and legal study for the investment funds project was awarded in alignment with international best practices.
To strengthen public-private partnerships (PPP), a pre-qualification call was launched for the Jaber Border Crossing development project under a Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain (DBFOM) model to rehabilitate the border crossing and boost its operational efficiency. Bankable investment packages were also developed for several PPP projects, including the Amman Bridge toll road project, the non-revenue water reduction project, and the pharmaceutical tracking project.
Regarding the South Amman non-revenue water project, the evaluation of pre-qualification applications submitted by competing companies was completed. Meanwhile, work commenced on the feasibility study for an electrical energy storage project using pumped hydro storage at Wadi Mujib. The project aims to establish a 450-megawatt closed-loop hydroelectric storage plant to enhance the grid's flexibility and sustainability.
To elevate Jordan's standing in the Business Ready index, the national action plan was adopted. To encourage sustainable manufacturing, the tender to prepare an economic and investment feasibility study for establishing a green industrial development zone was awarded, with implementation underway. Regarding the free school transport project in the Southern Badia, the agreement for the first phase was officially signed.
At the level of Arab partnerships, a memorandum of understanding was signed between the Jordanian Ministry of Investment and Saudi Arabia's Economic Cities and Special Zones Authority (ECZA) to cooperate in developing economic zones and refining the investment map featuring 100 opportunities, with a primary focus on infrastructure, logistics, transport, and technology.
