Amman: The executive program report for the Economic Modernization Vision (2026-2029) revealed key achievements during the first quarter of the year within the Jordan Invest Engine, with foreign direct investment (FDI) net inflows reaching about JD1.43 billion in 2025.
According to Jordan News Agency, the report showed that the satisfaction index with the investment environment in Jordan was at 45.4 percent (cumulative). The Ministry processed 7,568 transactions related to investment incentives and facilities during 2025, and contacted 628 companies and investors in 2025.
The report detailed the issuance of 4,203 investor cards (categories A, B, and C) to investors and family members in 2025. Additionally, 81 recommendations were submitted for granting citizenship/passports through investment during the same year. Furthermore, 38 construction permits were issued for new projects within development zones in 2025.
Among the most notable achievements in the investment engine was the development of the Invest.Jo platform, a comprehensive national digital platform showcasing investment opportunities and promoting the Kingdom's competitive advantages. This was accomplished through providing updated investment content covering priority sectors and strategic projects, which backed the attraction of local and foreign capital.
In a bid to enhance regulatory frameworks, a revised draft of the Investment Environment Regulation was submitted for cabinet approval. The aim is to streamline the investor journey and align with the objectives of the economic modernization vision, thereby enhancing the Kingdom's competitiveness.
Efforts were also made to establish a national strategic investment fund, with terms of reference prepared for conducting necessary legal and regulatory studies. The initial draft of instructions for issuing compliance licenses was prepared, and investment packages were developed for several projects, including the toll road, Amman Bridge, and water loss reduction in South Amman.
The report also announced the initial prequalification call for several investment opportunities. This includes the Amman Bridge project, the water loss project, and the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) fare collection project. Additionally, 100 investment opportunities were developed across various priority economic sectors, distributed throughout the Kingdom's governorates.
Progress was made on infrastructure projects, with the initial draft of a feasibility study for the Jaber border crossing and the logistics zone in the King Hussein Bin Talal Development Zone in Mafraq. The Higher Committee for Partnership Projects approved the feasibility study for the South Amman water loss project.
An integrated framework for managing investor complaints and grievances was developed, which includes standardized procedures, enhanced governance, performance indicators, and service level agreements. This initiative aims to improve response times, increase transparency, and enhance the investor experience.
Lastly, a tender was issued for a feasibility study to establish a green industrial development zone, supporting the move towards sustainable industries. Four new projects were registered in the National Register of Government Investment Projects, covering various sectors including energy and logistics.
