AMMAN — Jordan has a “huge” stockpile of
goods and foodstuff, enough to cover domestic need for several months,
president of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce, Nael Al-Kabariti, said.

In comments reported by Jo24, Kabariti said all
commodities are available in the local market.
He said intense competition between merchants
locally led to a decrease in the price of some commodities, benefitting
consumers.
But he warned that prices of some commodities have
dramatically increased globally.
Energy costs are one of the most important operating
factors in the commercial sector and one of the obstacles to economic growth.
“If energy costs decrease, that will reflect on the
price of goods”, he said. “But the price of electricity in Jordan is among the
highest in the world and constitutes a significant burden on all sectors.”
