Amr, speaking at a seminar held by
Jordanian Businessmen Association (JBA) Tuesday evening, noted the investment law, which the
government is currently working on, will cope with the "latest, most
developed and competitive" international laws in this field.
The government, he said, is studying laws concerned with
investment affairs, to embrace the "most appropriate" terms for the
investment process, which will help to come up with a modern investment law to
attract more investments to Jordan.
To facilitate transactions, Amr said the ministry seeks to
be the core reference for investment and the sole authority to follow up on
investor issues.
The ministry, he noted, is working on facilitating the
investment process, in addition to launching partnership with the private
sector.
The government is mulling plans to increase investment
opportunities through expansion with the private sector, establishing projects,
and providing the appropriate environment to attract foreign investors,
according to Amr.
The ministry's priorities seek to focus on local and foreign
investment in a synchronized manner, and open markets to the Jordanian investor
by implementing an investment plan countrywide, he pointed out.
Focus in the next stage will be on the information
technology and mining sectors, he noted, pointing to work on an
"interactive smart" investment map project that provides the investor
with all details online, in addition to working on a promotional plan.
