Ammon News - The Jordan Free and Development Zones Group (JFDZG) will offer technical and logistical support to the Jordan Europe Business Association (JEBA) to promote and market investment opportunities of the Group, according to an agreement signed on Saturday.

JFDZG Chairman Khalaf Hmeisat, who signed the memorandum with JEBA President Jamal Badran, called on the JEBA management to be acquainted with the investment opportunities and privileges offered by the free zones, including Ajloun and Dead Sea development zones.

The JFDZG is keen to provide services and facilities to local, Arab and foreign investors, HE SAID, calling on businessmen in the commercial, industrial, tourism and service sectors to identify the challenges and barriers facing their businesses "so that they can be followed up and worked out."

Also during the signing ceremony, JFDZG Director-General Abdul Hamid Gharaibeh gave a briefing on the development zones and the advantages they offer to investors to boost the national economy through partnership with the private sector in the industrial, commercial, service and tourism fields.

The Group, he added, constantly seeks to develop and provide an investor-friendly and competitive environment, particularly in the free zone at the Queen Alia International Airport, where industrial and commercial units and a fully-equipped business centre will be set up to meet the various needs of investors.

Development Zones Director Arwa Hiyari noted that the Dead Sea and Ajloun zones, including projects such as the Dead Sea Corniche and the Ajloun cable car project, will be new tourist destinations with real investment opportunities that will be an added value to the Jordanian economy.

For his part, Badran commended the group's efforts to promote the investment environment in the free zones and its ongoing efforts to boost cooperation between the public and private sectors, adding that JEBA will soon start field visits for its members and affiliates to take a first-hand look at the investment opportunities in the Free and development zones.
