Kuwaiti envoy hails Jordan’s investment environment

AMMAN — More than 430 Kuwaiti companies are registered at the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply, while 77 Kuwaiti investors run businesses in Jordan through the Amman Chamber of Commerce, Kuwaiti Ambassador to Jordan Aziz Al Daihani said on Saturday.

During an interview with the Jordan News Agency, Petra, on the occasion of Kuwait's 59th National Day and 29th Liberation Day, Daihani said that many Kuwaiti investors are "eager" to launch investments in the Kingdom, which offers an “encouraging investment environment” and laws that protect investments.

The diplomat noted that Kuwait is the top Arab country in terms of investments in Jordan, with a total investment volume of some $18 billion in various sectors.

He also added that some 62,000 Jordanians work in the Gulf country's public and private sectors, while more than 4,350 Kuwaiti students study at Jordanian universities.
