The Chairman of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, Nael Al-Kabariti, considered that "the commercial sector in the whole Kingdom is one system, and it must be considered comprehensively to solve its problems and issues within an integrated unit," pointing out that "the current period requires focusing on economic revitalization."

During the BOD of Jordan Chamber meeting, Al-Kabariti pointed to "the damage caused to the commercial sector as a result of the successive closures that followed the Coronavirus pandemic," stressing that "there should be prior consultation with the sector before making any future decisions related to this."

Al-Kabariti affirmed that "the lives and health of citizens take precedence over all priorities, but it is necessary to balance the health and economic files, especially since the commercial and service sectors can no longer continue their work due to the financial burdens they bear since the start of the spread of the Coronavirus."

Al-Kabariti touched on the results of his recent visit to Syria and the resulting understandings related to facilitating transit trade and the exchange of goods between the two countries. He also called for increasing and expanding the list of goods that Jordan imports from Syria to reduce shipping costs, maintain the Kingdom's traditional markets and search for new ones, stressing that "the chamber seeks to maintain Jordan's commercial relationship with Syria at the level of private sector institutions and in line with international decisions."
