These achievements have been supported by His Majesty, who has led the development and modernization journey since assuming his constitutional duties.
In a statement issued today, Thursday, the company emphasized that under His Majesty's auspicious reign, new industrial cities were established, bringing the total number of industrial cities to ten, spread across various governorates of the Kingdom, leading an economic and developmental renaissance.
The statement further noted that the Kingdom's celebrations of His Majesty’s 63rd birthday renew feelings of pride and gratitude for the progress, prosperity, and growth achieved across all sectors, especially the economic sector. Jordan has become a beacon of security, stability, growth, resilience, and perseverance in the face of various challenges, turning these challenges into opportunities thanks to His Majesty’s continuous efforts to support development.
The CEO of the company, Omar Jweid, stated that the Kingdom’s celebrations of this occasion were crowned with the celebrations of the Silver Jubilee of His Majesty’s constitutional rule, marking 25 years since His Majesty assumed his constitutional duties. During this period, Jordanians across the Kingdom reflected on the achievements across various fields. It was a fortunate coincidence that two industrial cities, Aqaba and Al-Hassan, under the Jordan Industrial Estates Company, received royal recognition on this occasion.
Jweid explained that this demonstrates the ongoing royal support for the Jordanian industrial cities and their direct impact on development in all its aspects, in line with His Majesty's vision and aspirations. These cities have attracted high-quality investments in various productive sectors, providing thousands of job opportunities for young Jordanians. Additionally, they have contributed to the development of the governorates and the equitable distribution of development benefits, which are reflected in increasing national exports and GDP figures. As of the third quarter of 2024, the number of industrial companies in various industrial cities reached 937, with investments exceeding 3 billion Jordanian dinars, creating nearly 61,000 job opportunities.
Jweid further noted that the contributions of the industrial cities have grown steadily during His Majesty's reign, as the cities have focused on creating plans and strategies to cement the identity of national industries and Jordanian products, which today compete locally, regionally, and internationally.
These industrial cities have provided all the necessary conditions for successful investment, making it easier for investors to overcome challenges, thus positioning the Jordanian industrial cities as the largest incubators for these investments.
