Amman: The Syrian-Jordanian Joint Free Zone recorded a sharp increase in revenues during the first half of 2025, with total revenues reaching about $3.96 million, driven by higher investment income, occupancy fees, and trust fund revenues. Speaking during the company's board meeting on Wednesday, Secretary General of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply and Chairperson of the Board, Dana Zoubi, said the strong financial performance builds on the tangible growth achieved last year.
According to Jordan News Agency, Zoubi reported a 67 per cent increase in trade value through the zone compared with 2024, with the investment base expanding to 277 active contracts across the exhibition, commercial, and services sectors. The number of active industrial contracts remained stable at 22. Zoubi highlighted a significant increase in transport activity, reflecting improved operational efficiency, as passenger vehicle traffic surged by 423 per cent to 86,510 vehicles during the first half of the year, while truck traffic rose by 56 per cent to 42,163 trucks.
Zoubi stated that the company has developed strategic initiatives to enhance the zone's investment attractiveness and improve services for investors. Plans include expanding digital transformation and automating services to streamline investment and logistics procedures, as well as upgrading infrastructure, roads, loading docks, and warehouses.
She added that the company will launch targeted promotional campaigns to attract high-value industrial and commercial investments while addressing challenges facing investors. The aim is to strengthen the free zone's role as a leading regional logistics hub that supports intra-regional trade and contributes to the economies of both Jordan and Syria.
