opportunities in the governorates, facilitating work from home, and empowering
women, a Royal Court statement.
Over the past three years,

briefing on the BPO sector, with the attendees noting that its revenues
increased from nearly $55 million in 2018 to $110 million in 2020, according to
the statement.
The attendees called for
further capacity building to boost the sector, and promoting investment in
Jordan’s potential as a BPO hub.
