AMMAN — The Social Security Investment Fund (SSIF) on Saturday held a workshop for Social Security Corporation (SSC) representatives tackling corporate governance. 

Under the theme “establishing institutional governance in corporations”, the event was part of the SSIF’s strategic plan set in 2019 to activate the SSC’s representation in the board of directors of joint-stock companies, which enhances the corporation’s investments and assets, according to a SSIF statement.

A number of experts from the Jordan Central Bank, the UN Development Programme, Jordan Institute of Directors and representatives from the private sector presented issues related to the principles and standards of corporate governance and their effects on the rights of stakeholders. 

The SSC is a stakeholder in 88 public and private joint-stock companies operating within a number of vital sectors that include banking, mining, energy and tourism.
