Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI) lauded as “important” the government’s decision to allow non-Jordanian investors’ households, who hold investment cards to work in all professions owned by their family members.
Investment cards are issued by the Ministry of Investment and Jordan Free and Development Zones Group (JFDZ).
In a statement on Wednesday, JCI head, Fathi Jaghbir, said the decision is the fruit of “true” partnership with the government and is aimed at supporting the Kingdom’s business environment.
Prime Minister’s step also exempts the investors’ families from the requirement to obtain a work permit and seeks to support the investment climate, which would diversify expertise, facilitate investor transactions and enhance the business environment, according to Jaghbir.
In addition, he noted the decision contributes to attracting non-Jordanian investments to the Kingdom, and develops the existing businesses locally, especially since family business is “an existing and vital model” for companies operating in Jordan
