AMMAN — Representatives from four commercial sectors in Amman have
agreed to establish uniform closing hours for shops year-round while allowing
them to choose their own opening hours. The
Amman Chamber of Commerce (ACC) poll surveyed 3,000 shop owners
across 18 sectors in the capital's 19 geographic regions to determine opening
and closing hours for commercial establishments. The results revealed that 60.2
percent of shop owners are in favor of
specifying working hours, while 24.5
percent oppose it, and 15.3 percent declined to answer.

During a brainstorming session organized by
the
Amman Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, the attendees unanimously
recognized the need to regulate commercial store working hours to reduce
operational costs and alleviate traffic congestion, the Jordan News Agency,
Petra reported.
The session focused on the results of an
opinion poll conducted by the ACC to determine working hours. Attendees
represented merchants and producers of furniture, carpets, electronics,
stationery, libraries, and household items.
In a statement released on Thursday by the
ACC, it was emphasized by the attendees that it is crucial not to specify the
start of working hours during the morning period. This decision stems from
recognizing the diverse needs of citizens, school students, and employees in
both the public and private sectors, which vary depending on the
commercial sector.
