The latest official statistics showed that the flow of foreign direct investment into the Jordanian market grew steadily last year, thanks to the government's introduction of a set of reforms to improve the business climate, foremost of which is the new investment law.
Net FDI inflows amounted to about $1.63 billion, a growth rate of 3.1 percent of GDP. Arab countries accounted for 64.8 percent of these total flows, led by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, contributing about 32.5 percent of the total investments. Kuwait ranked first with 9.1 percent of total inflows, followed by Saudi Arabia with 8.2 percent, the UAE with 7.1 percent, and Qatar with 4.5 percent.
