AMMAN — The Syrian-Jordanian Joint Free Zone's total revenue rose to nearly $3.96 million during the first half of 2026, driven by higher investment income, occupancy fees and trust fund revenues, according to financial indicators.
During the company's board meeting on Wednesday, Secretary General of the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply and Chairperson of the Board Dana Zoubi said the results reflected the strong growth achieved last year.
Trade through the free zone increased by 67 per cent compared with 2024, while the investment base expanded to 277 active contracts across the exhibition, commercial and services sectors. Industrial contracts remained stable at 22, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Zoubi said transport activity also recorded strong growth, reflecting improved operational efficiency. Passenger vehicle traffic surged by 423 per cent to 86,510 vehicles, while truck traffic increased by 56 per cent to 42,163 in 2025.
She said the company had adopted a series of measures to enhance the free zone's investment appeal and improve services for investors. These include expanding digital transformation initiatives and automating services to streamline and accelerate investment and logistics procedures, alongside upgrading infrastructure, roads, pavements and warehouses.
Zoubi added that the company also plans to launch targeted promotional campaigns to attract "high-value" industrial and commercial investments, address challenges facing investors and reinforce the free zone's position as a leading regional logistics hub that supports bilateral trade and contributes to economic growth in Jordan and Syria.
