President of the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JCC) Khalil Haj Tawfiq called for building a unified Arab investment platform entailing investment opportunities in each country separately, with the aim of maximizing investment in the Arab region. During his participation in an Annual Investment Meeting (AIM Global 2023) session in Abu Dhabi, he indicated that the Arab world is a consumer market that imports a trillion dollars annually, while the volume of Arab trade is approximately 14 percent, thus confirming the need to remove customs obstacles to impede the flow of goods between Arab nations. He also stressed the need to expand Arab investment projects with added value to generate job opportunities for youth, noting that Jordan has taken advanced steps to establish a modern, developed, and stimulating business environment for investors, based on its security and stability. Jordan, he said, abounds of many investment opportunities with high added value, distributed in the sectors of information and communications technology (ICT), logistics services, tourism, industry, agriculture, health, energy, renewable energy, medical tourism, mining, and food industries. Tawfiq called on businessmen, investors, and chambers of commerce to attend the businessmen and investment conference in Jordan during the last quarter of this year, which will be organized by the JCC in cooperation with the Arab League and the Union of Arab Chambers. Held in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology and the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development, this year’s edition of AIM Global is themed “The Investment Paradigm Shift: Future Investment Opportunities to Foster Sustainable Economic Growth, Diversity, and Prosperity,” bringing together over 600 speakers from 170 countries.
