challenges the country is facing and the government’s plans to stimulate
growth, including increasing export competitiveness, according to a ministry

potential avenues of cooperation with the German Federal Ministry to enhance
export promotion, expressing appreciation of the Federal Republic of Germany
for its ongoing support of the Jordanian economy and programs that are designed
to strengthen the private sector’s role in export development and promotion.
