Exports climbed to
JD4.159 billion in the seven-month period this year, compared with JD2.656
billion in the corresponding period in 2021, according to ACI data.
The bulk of
industries recorded an increase in exports, except therapeutic industries and
medical supplies, which dropped 9 percent to reach JD300 million, compared with
JD330 million during the same period of last year, the figures showed.
ACI exports
continued a remarkable upward trend, achieving unprecedented rates since the
beginning of the year, the chamber said.
It said Jordanian
industry’s have the ability to bypass hurdles and compete in export markets,
given the quality of Jordanian products. ACI called for supporting
manufacturers to increase production and expand job-generating businesses.
Jordanian
industries can access more than 142 markets worldwide through the export of
1,400 various commodities.
The national
industry, which recruits more than one-quarter of a million Jordanians, has a
pivotal contribution to the Kingdom’s trade balance as it accounts for 93
percent of the country’s total exports at an annual value of up to JD5 billion
and a sector investment volume of JD15 billion, the ACI said.
India, the US,
Saudi Arabia, and Iraq accounted for more than half of ACI exports during the past
seven months of the year, buying Jordanian products worth JD2.199 billion, the
chamber said.
