Jordan recorded strong investment performance and advanced growth indicators under the Executive Programme of the Economic Modernisation Vision (2026–2029) by the end of the third quarter of 2026. This was accompanied by a package of legislative measures and incentives aimed at improving the business environment and attracting capital.
According to the third-quarter 2026 report on the Economic Modernisation Vision’s executive programme, issued by the Government Performance and Achievement Monitoring Unit at the Prime Ministry, net foreign direct investment reached JD 641 million during the first half of this year.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Investment processed 2,032 applications for incentives and facilities and granted investment exemptions to approximately 216 companies.
The investment environment also saw the issuance of 1,438 investor cards across various categories, while 35 investors obtained Jordanian citizenship through the investment programme. In parallel, 128 updated investment opportunities across the governorates were promoted through the “Invest in Jordan” platform.
At the regulatory and institutional level, the government prepared a draft Investment Funds Law and updated the criteria for granting residency and citizenship to investors, with the aim of directing investments towards the governorates and strategic projects.
Incentives were also expanded for industrial cities in Ma’an, Madaba, Tafileh and Salt. Additional measures included introducing an expedited process for issuing construction permits in development zones and developing bankable investment packages for public-private partnership projects, including water storage facilities and the construction of 41 public schools.
