Jordan-Kuwait investment figures ‘source of optimism’ — JIC Chief

AMMAN — Investment figures between Jordan and Kuwait are a source of optimism, and the Kingdom aspires to further boost the numbers in the near future, Jordan Investment Commission (JIC) Chief Commissioner Khalid Wazani said on Monday.

Wazani, during the Jordanian-Kuwaiti business forum, noted that Kuwaiti investment in the Kingdom stands at $18 billion and is distributed among several sectors, according to a JIC statement. He noted that the JIC promotion campaign in Kuwait a week ago reviewed 35 investment opportunities in several sectors.

The chief commissioner said that, in response to the interest of Kuwaiti businesspeople in these opportunities, the JIC will offer a complete portfolio of investment projects spanning the entire Kingdom. 

The JIC is committed to following up on issues of interest to investors, Wazani added during the forum, which was organised by Jordan’s chambers of industry and commerce.
