The ACI released a report
on Tuesday showing that most industrial sectors saw an increase in exports in
the January–October period, ranging between 3 percent in the construction
sector and 105 percent in the higher growth mining industries.
This rise points to the
fact that ACI exports will reach an unprecedented figure by the end of the
year, and to the ability of the Jordanian industry to overcome difficulties and
face competition in the export markets.
Jordanian industrial
products — some 1,400 commodities — are exported to more than 142 countries;
India, the US, Saudi Arabia and Iraq accounted for more than half of the

JD3.296 billion.
According to statistics,
the chamber’s exports to India rose during the first 10 months of 2022 to
JD1.299 billion, compared with JD727 million in the same period last year, a 79
percent hike.

the US dropped by 1 percent in the January–October period, to reach JD824
million, compared with JD829 million for the same period in 2021.
The chamber’s data also
shows that its exports to Saudi Arabia increased by 32 percent during the said
period of this year, reaching JD627 million, compared with JD473 million in the
corresponding period of 2021.
The chamber’s exports to
Iraq also rose during the specified period to about JD546 million, compared
