Investment
Jordan's economy has skyrocketed for almost a decade since King Abdullah II instituted liberal economic reforms with billions invested in Jordan every year from the Persian Gulf, Europe, and America. The main centers of investment are Amman, Aqaba, and the Dead Sea. Significant foreign capital is also invested in Jordan's industrial zones and SEZs.
The stock market capitalisation of listed companies in Jordan was valued at $37.639 billion in 2005 by the World Bank.
The Jordan Investment Board is responsible for support for investors.
