Amman, July 15 (Petra) -- The Jordanian Businessmen Association (JBA), in cooperation with the Ministry of Investment and the Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs, will host the ninth Conference of Jordanian Businessmen and Investors Abroad this coming Saturday.
The one-day event, held under the theme "Investment Opportunities with a Global Vision," is part of the JBA’s strategic efforts to bolster Jordan’s standing as an attractive destination for foreign direct investment, the association said in a statement on Wednesday.
The conference aims to connect Jordanian expatriates with the country's rapid economic developments and ongoing national modernization initiatives. It will serve as a platform to explore emerging investment opportunities across productive and service sectors to support the national economy.
JBA President Ayman Al-Alawneh said the conference serves as a critical bridge between local and expatriate Jordanian investors to exchange expertise and leverage the global networks of the diaspora.
"The association places high priority on maintaining continuous communication with Jordanian business leaders worldwide, keeping them informed of local investment prospects and the kingdom's evolving regulatory framework," Al-Alawneh said.
He added that the conference will offer a direct channel for dialogue with government officials to discuss shared economic interests, attract foreign capital, protect local investments, and encourage the repatriation of Jordanian capital into sustainable, high-yield domestic projects.
Several partnerships and investment ventures are expected to be announced during the event, reflecting sustained confidence in Jordan’s economic resilience.
The conference agenda will focus on key topics, including the road map toward a modernized economy under the Executive Programme of the Economic Modernization Vision (2026–2029), private sector contributions to national development plans, and economic diplomacy strategies aimed at accessing new global markets. Discussions will also highlight the pivotal role of expatriates in anchoring their investments within the kingdom.
Ultimately, the event seeks to harness the expertise of Jordanian investors abroad to enhance Jordan's regional and international competitiveness, build robust economic partnerships, and support sustainable development goals.
