Ammon News - Trade relations between Jordan and Syria recorded notable growth over the last ten months of this year, driven by the resumption of commercial activity and a marked increase in bilateral trade flows.

The surge reflects growing Syrian demand for Jordanian products.

Jordan’s imports from Syria reached approximately JD 75 million, up from JD 51 million in the corresponding period last year, marking a growth rate of 47.1 percent.
