King urges developing industrial sector to support economy, jobs
AMMONNEWS - His Majesty King Abdullah on Tuesday stressed the need to develop the industrial sector to support the national economy and jobs, calling for increasing the production of the raw material needed to enable local industries to meet domestic and export market demands.
During a visit to Giant Industrial Group in Mafraq Governorate, King Abdullah commended the quality and volume of sanitiser and disinfectant manufacturing in Jordan, noting the importance of expanding it as demand increases due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

The King listened to a briefing on the group, which was founded in 1991 and employs 420 workers, 80 per cent of whom are Jordanians.
The group, which includes six factories, exports its products to 41 countries worldwide, and its exports have seen an increase by nearly 24 per cent in the first half of this year.
