Exports by factories registered with the Amman Chamber of Industry (ACI) shot up by 52 percent in the first two months of 2022 to a total of JD1.125 billion against JD743 million in the same period of 2021.
According to a report the Chamber released on Monday, the growth was driven by higher exports for most of the industrial sectors except for the therapeutic, medical and dermatology supplies and textile sectors, which exports have declined by 11 percent and 16 percent, respectively.
The Chamber indicated that more than half of the exports (worth JD612 million) reached the markets of India (JD252 million), followed by the United States (JD147 million), Iraq (JD108 million) and Saudi Arabia (JD105 million).
