The volume of registered investments in free and development zones across the Kingdom in 2021 reached about JD2.485 billion, an increase by 0.4 percent, according to Chairman of the Jordan Free and Development Zones Group (JFDZG) Khalaf Hmeisat.
Speaking to Petra on Sunday, Hmeisat said that the growth of investment volume is not financially represented, but rather through its economic importance as free and development zones attract investments categorized into economic, commercial, industrial, tourism and service areas.
“This has contributed to providing about 27 thousand direct and indirect job opportunities for local communities hosting the Kingdom’s free and development zones,” he added.
